Here is a question for you Mark III pilots.  I was flying near some

Sierra foothills yesterday 80 miles north of Reno with about a 5 mph

wind.  It was early in the day and nice and still at pattern level

(5100"msl).  Went up to 6000 and got thrashed by choppy air. Do not know

where it came from.  How much choppy air will a Mark III Classic handle

and where can I attach a big handle to hang on to?   Time to celebrate.

Have now made 66 landings.......one of which was a nice smooth

one......it was number 62.  It was with full flaps and instead of going

to full stall, I just let it settle short of a full stall which is a no

no in a J-3.

There are many possibilities...   could have been a dry weather front.

Could be a wind sheer.  Could be a boundary layer between different types of

air masses.  Depending on the time of day it could have been thermal

activity.  Or any combination of the above or others....    as to weather

the plane can handle it....  I am sure the plane can handle more than I

can...

All,

  I many years ago became very nervous when flying in the western U.S.  where one can get bounced pretty severely. I bought a G Meter, installed it and found to my surprise, those nasty bumps weren't  nearly as nasty as my nerves were trying to tell me.  Slow down to maneuvering speed and you can ride out any of them.  The G Meter just tells you it ain't as bad as your pucker factor tries to tell you.  They are not that expensive.
