Leg #3 - Destination Kansas City

After some costly repairs in Coffeyville due to [see my post about Cub Repairs], and a break in the weather, finally (no more 100 foot ceilings at MCI), I departed at 8:48 A.M. with winds from 160 at 20 knots gusting 26 knots. Needless to say, liftoff was early and breezy. Was only 11 NM off course at my first check, Kansas City VOR, and was set up perfect for right base and cleared to land 19R. There was a strong left crosswinds and I used up more runway than I probably should have just trying to grease the landing. Started with 26 gallons of fuel and landed at 10:05 with about 17.4 gallons.
