A slight correction to your post Jason. After my first turbulent flight I decided to call it quits for flying again today & exercised the whipper snipper for the second time. When Gazz turned up for a flight I stopped my Whippett activities & had another flight. Should have trusted my first instincts. The unsettling turbulence was much higher than my first flight & I was coming in very early. Final turn for a left to right landing had the wind push me further left of the strip than expected & the turbulence rising from the trees saw the need for more stick moves than I could handle & it was swallowed by the trees...big ooops & more damage than I am happy with.
Gazz's Trojan landing prompted his saying "nothing that a bit of epoxy wont fix", but put paid to the need for a second battery & we both called it quits for the day.
