Anything more than ~15mph then you'd better be flying for sheep stations and not recreation.


Although when desperate for a bit of practice I have flown in conditions where I've felt the need to point my F3A ship into the wind in the pits with the tail raised the ailerons lifted up as spoilers with the starter and battery hanging over the nose just in case. When you're worried the wind and gusts will flip one of those over just sitting at the end of the landing run you know it's getting too windy.

Safety first, fun second and ego last I reckon.
