I flew a Cherokee from NE Tennessee to SW Tennessee the day after Christmas with a 45 K Headwind. I was indicating 105 knots With a true o f 110 and the garmin was saying 65 knots ground speed at 6500. Flew the last 1.7 hours at 2000 ft at about 95 knot ground speed and in turbulance that made it a fight to maintain heading and altitude. Not a plesant flight. Flying back on the 29th was much better, 9500 ft. with 15 knot tail wind and very smooth, CAVU.

I just got back from a quick flight to Tupelo. Even with the heavy crosswind, it was 50 minutes there and 50 back. I visited with prospective builder Patrick Fain and took him up for a ride. So far he's the best newbie I've seen with a KR stick. I let him have it and there was no change in attitude, altitude, or anything, and I hadn't even mentioned anything about pitch sensitivity to him. He seemed to be impressed with the KR, so maybe we'll have another Mississippi builder soon. And yes, I realize that Tupelo is nowhere near Biloxi...
