Transition training started on SportCruiser

This is the SportCruiser, a plane similar to the RV-12 on which I am doing transition training. In front is my instructor Davey Amos. Today we did 7 take-off/landings with a 10 knots crosswind component. I was impressed by how well behaved the SportCruiser is in these conditions. The good news: I was told by a pilot who has experience flying both SportCruiser and RV-12 that the RV-12 is even easier to fly! — at Salisbury (Rohan County airport), NC.

    I have enjoyed flying the PiperSport. My personal limit is when gusts get to 18kts. The book says 12kts direct crosswind and 24 down the runway. I think those are good limitations for a 1320# little airplane.
