  Wait, wait, wait.  Kurt - Are you really saying 40 knots of direct (90*) cross wind?  I can hardly imagine getting _any_ general aviation aircraft down in one piece with a 40* direct cross wind.

    Scott, 

    It's good to hear that you think the V is a good X-wind aircraft. Since for you and I in New Mexico, the wind is barely blowing until it gets over 30 knots.
     I was wodering how my learning curve was going to run on the V. I could easilly land the old C-150's and 172 in over 30 knots of crosswind, now in the Cherokee 235 I place the limit at 40.  My runway layout is N/S and the spring winds are usually from the west or southwest at about 50 on a bad day.  What have you run into on your V?  And, do you land it crabbed or in a slip? 

    I should have all my engine parts back soon and start reassembling the engine. I'll give you a call when I have it tweaked enough.  I plan on having a big burger burn at that point. 

    Kurt
