Went flying at Kolb (Phoenixville) earlier this afternoon and got a bit more than I was expecting. The wind at Pottstown Limerick airport was only indicating 5 knots on the ground, but lawdy lawdy was it howling about 20 feet up. I launch out of Kolb and immediately was ready to land but I figured I'd give it a little bit to see if the ride got smoother. It did a little bit but still lots of rotor off the woods line and a bit of lifty-sinkiness throughout the flight. I decided after only 14 minutes that it was time to put Bertha back on the ground. When my GPS speed read 39 mph, I knew that I was playing in conditions that I wasn't expecting. Jeff came out with his 900 pound dawg, Apollo, to watch the flight and make sure I didn't get stuck in a tree. Thanks Jeff :-)
