Status: offline 		I want help my 7yr old launch a rocket and I was wondering, what is the recommended wind speed or the ideal max wind speed? I am sure the 0 is ideal, but is 15 mph too strong? I really don't want to get into math to figure out where it will land I want to try to launch one over the next week off a frozen lake. Thanks

Jon

Make sure the wind is in your face, across the lake into you, it should go fine.
