I don't mind wind at all! I would fly in 25 mph...well I have but you made the right choice since you don;t have much time at the sticks with that plane! I would suggest when you don't feel comfortable don;t take off! don't feel like you have to fly, because thats when it won't be fun...just eventually make your self somfortable on the plane, and in higer winds and you'll have a great time...the plane flies amazing, what electrics do you have?
