Crash N' Rebuild

[Crash]

On a very windy day this week, I crashed my Mig-3. I was going to trash it, but then I decided to fix it. See the pics!
It's hard to live with the nickname of "Crash."

Great job Mike! You would never know anything nasty had happened. 

So tell us, exactly what does the wind have to do with the crash!

Nice rebuild!

Perhaps he was passing wind and got distracted

(p.s. I refuse to fly even in a slight breeze)

Yup!  I think @bfeist is spot on.  A surprise passing breeze can certainly wreak havoc on final approach.

Someone ask Mike how his repaired Mig 3 maiden went today.
