By the way, have you tried that thing (again) we once spoke of? Taking off with the J3 in winds where you would literally stay above the runway all the time? I still have to test that again. Will pick some OZ field for this.

No. I only did it that one time and the J3 was like a chopper. It went up vertically and I flew at the same speed as the wind (~45 knots) so it was like I was hovering and when landed, I went straight down, sometimes slightly backwards, until I landed. I "hovered" for about five minutes! :D
