We fly in the wind down here in Florida a lot. My personal take on wind limitations is when I have trouble trying to taxi on or off the runway. With that said I have flown in worse conditions wishing I hadn't once breaking ground. Words of advice would be to fly in conditions that are comfortable to you, if they are not then don't. In time your limitations with wind will most likely expand with experience gained, so fly when its windy just use judgement. He who walks away gets to fly his airplane another day is not all that a bad rule if its making
you nervous.
