I can't count the times I've come home with a damaged plane because "I think I can handle the wind". 
I have gotten to where when my 5 yr old son goes with me
he takes a kite, the other night 20 mile per hour winds
deadstick trainer landing after a 2 minute flight only damage
was i have to put the landing gear back on
but we had about an hours fun with the kite afterward, it was one of the little
plastic diamond shape spiderman kites from wally world
wind was so strong it kept bending the cros brace plastic stick.
I knew then it was to windy for my trainer
oohhh well he had fun and thats what its all about.
