Well, today broke with a light breeze, 5kts down the strip. With a little hesitation (having remembered my first day with the light breeze and the "rough old landing") I pre-flight the KR2 and taxied to the end of one five, I decided that I'd do one circuit and if my landing was OK, in the breeze, I'd continue doing circuits. The landing was 9.5 out of 10, so touch and goes were the order of the day as there was a broken cloud base of about 950 ft AGL.
As the time went by the breeze picked up to about 10kts and swung to 45 degrees across the strip. The breeze was very steady and I was still making good landings, so I kept doing circuits till the breeze started to get gusty and swing a bit. 1.3 hours and I decided that the conditions required more pilot than what I was, so a 9 out of 10 landing and back to the hanger, wash and put the KR2 away, race to my computer to share my excitement with those that understand me. If I remember the camera tomorrow I'll get some photos and post to the my WEB page (I'm not a camera fan and in all my excitement it doesn't get a thought).
