Personal flying max's (gusty wind / x-wind)
What's your max? I like to hear what other Maule drivers of different skill levels find their max conditions for flight in windy /gusty conditions.

Scott: Just got back from doing 16 hrs with Rick Geiger in Cut Bank MT. We just about covered the whole gamut of short field/soft field/hi wind/ x-wind/gusty wind etc. landings & TO's in his Maule M7 160. Final day I nailed a paced out <200ft landing on a 10ft wide x 800ft grass strip with 18G28kts x-wind at 60degrees. My own/home runway is 800ft!! Spend time with someone with thousands of hrs in a Maule, and you learn.....muchly!! Worth every penny!!Scott wrote:What's your max?

I fly a Trigear so YMMV .
I have no issues with 15 kts direct crosswind and have landed with over 20kts direct crosswind no troubles. It is very windy where I live so I made it a point to deliberatly go up on windy days and travel to nearby airports with crosswind runways to specifically practive on the runway that was perpindicular to the wind.
