Many times I have suggested it was too windy for them to fly and offered to help them on a calmer day. Many times they try anyway and destroy it on the first flight.

I actually feel bad for the father when this happens and will pretend to pack up saying its too windy for me to fly also. I wait until they drive off before flying again.

Nothing noble about embarrassing a father in front of his kid.

But a carbon fibre hobby grade acro multicopter has no trouble at all handling very strong winds.
