Default RE: How much wind is too much?

Depends on your skill level and what you consider fun. For most average pilots the fun factor rapidly dimishes after about 15MPH. If Im practicing pattern I will fly in up to 25MPH wind if its stright down the runway. IF its really bad crosswind I dont get much value out of it so I stay home and preserve my precious airplane. With my big gas planes... 20-25MPH. WIth a foamy or a profile plane or something... the sky is the limit[8D]

IF you like flying in a 40 MPH wond just because you can then go for it...
