Hi all, It looks like i will have some free time later on wednesday through Thursday of this week while in Florida due to everything closing for a few days. Any CFI's available to assist with helping me perfect my crosswind landings?

Look for my follow up in the Aviation Mishap forum. hehehe

How much are you offering? :eek::rolleyes:o_O
 
Go for it after takeoff and on approach for landing you’ll think your a helicopter or stol pilot

Great time for practicing slow flight. You can probably get negative 50kts ground speed....

watch it now....that might sound like a challenge to some.
I tried to go backwards a couple times...never quite made it
 
Won’t be long until someone posts about how he’s landed a 172 in a 65 knot direct crosswind and had plenty of rudder left, someone else says if you attempt a landing with .0001 over the demonstrated crosswind you’re a test pilot, and someone else is frustrated that even though he’s landed in a 2 knot crosswind with just a bit of help half the way down from his CFI, he’s not allowed to solo yet (and has 850 hours of dual).

It’s easier in a Cub. Yeah, I’ve done it. Landing is not for the faint of heart, and taxiing is downright dangerous.

I wouldn't do it today. Life perspectives change. Some nice people at 5C1 helped hold the struts in order to get the plane back to the hangar. I'm not sure I would have made it back to the hangar successfully otherwise without being flipped over.
 
Fort Myers has some sporty weather:

And we’re hours from landfall.
 
So far Punta Gorda (PGD) wins for highest forecast winds

I feel for those impacted, please don’t misconstrue my attempt at humor. I live in a wildfire and earthquake threat area, when I see events that devastate entire communities, I truly feel for those impacted.
