Ok. Now how difficult was that?

Significant would be anything that is beyond both the plane and YOUR capability. For me, it's around 15 - 20 mph. If it's over that, I just don't go out.

For a beginner, especially with something that is really affected by wind, like the Champ, well, in the hands of someone that has flown before and is aware of how the plane works in the wind, well, it may work out. For a beginner, if you want to fly in any sort of wind.. well, maybe HAVE to fly in any sort of wind, meaning any time there is a wind blowing, I would opt for something a tad bit more substantial.
