You are just the person to lead the High Desert guys into wind flying.....not to fight the wind but work with it......and for goshsakes will make you learn what your left thumb is there for besides the throttle!! hehehe.
Fly out at IE enough and you will learn to fly with the breeze.....I imagine the desert field are equally fun
Teach them well, Chellie

The feeling's mutual. When are you coming out to the field again, Chellie? ? Sometime could you give me some instruction on "knife edge" flying?....maybe when I get a Mavrick built? I've never tried it.........I just recently got to where I can fly inverted. Got an email from PayPal today - my two Mavrick's are in the mail - oh boy

Ok on the Knife edge, Flying from right to left, use your ailerons to bank left, when the plane is on its side, hold right rudder and release the the aileron a little, hold the rudder to keep the plane flying level, your rudder now becomes the elevator, and your elevator now becomes your rudder, sometimes you will have to add a little (elevator now acting as a rudder, to keep the plane in a straight line ) its not hard at all, it just takes practice, hope that helps, Chellie

Your Mavrick is going to teach you a lot, as its a very responsive plane, that can do it all, and is cheap, so you dont have to be afraid to try new things, dont even worry about crashing it, its cheap fun, just throw it around, be Vicious with it
My Mavrick is the plane that I fly first to break the rust with as they say, then i fly my deltas, jets and wing
