Here in North Central Indiana. If you don't learn how to fly in the wind, you usually don't fly. It could be calm at home and when I get out to the field, 10-15 and gusty, or worse. When my dad test flew his 4 Star 40, our wind gauge at the field said about 25 steady, gusts to about 35. This is about my max. I grab my trusty old LT 40 and fly backwards. We have several people in our club that will not fly in any kind of wind. I myself have a hard time flying when there is no wind.
