    Looks like you had a great time to Furnance Creek and back. Great job on the successful cross wind landing. While I was filming down by the runway I could see the winds truning directly cross and picking up...challenging for sure! Great meeting you Peter, hope we fly again in Santa Paula.

    They are a bit "truckish" in the air, in all but gentle winds.  This is Dave's Cygnet, but my SeaWing uses the same wing:  NW 19m M-Pulse II (Dave's is a Mustang 3--same wing but screw-in/out tips).  Fun however, when in its element.
