The cross winds were a little high, 12 knots. gusting to 19 @ 70 degrees from the east across the runway. After taking off, it became evident that this was going to be a challenging flight. It was getting late and I expected conditions to improve as time went on. I made several passes as my son tried to catch the action from the ground. My first attempt to land resulted in a sudden drop of about 20 feet as I had pulled to much power and got behind the curve. I immediately recognized my error and attempted a full power recovery, but it was to late to avoid the resulting impact that broke a landing gear and support cable. I was however able to remain airborne and make a second attempt that resulted in an almost normal landing. So lesson learned keep that power up especially in gusty conditions and fly it to the ground.
