Funny enough, we were going exact opposite direction against those winds. We stayed low, in turbulence, to avoid most of it. Used a low power setting too, 2300 rpm, 23 in of MP, to minimize the bumps. Despite that, we still hit 2.5 and -1 on the 'ol G meter.

3.75 hours from Cartersville, GA to Sulphur Springs TX. Probably touring the Legend Cub facility today.
