Same here, winds only ~15mph, but gusts up to 30mph. 15mph no problem! 30mph gusts, not so much.
I agree. A 15 mph wind as long as it is not bursting gust from 15-30 there should be no problem. Also, if the wind is not blowing to crossways it does make for a better flying day. I can still do crosswinds, but I just don't enjoy it as much as I do if it is more down the runway.
Sometimes I go out and folks don't even fly because it is windy and I am constantly flying. After you fly some in the windy weather you tend to learn how to handle it. I have brought my plane in almost completely sideways and then just at touchdown take it out of crab and set it right down. It is even fun practicing those landings.
