Default RE: How much wind is too much?

Well, until my addiction starts screaming for the next fix (read: new plane), my primary plane will be my Aeroworks .46-.60 Edge 540T with an OS .61FX and 13x5 prop. Backup is my trusty old Mid-Star that currently has an OS .40LA, but should be getting a Webra Speed .40 transplant soon. As for skill level, the Mid-Star was my trainer for about 6 months last year, then winter rolled around. I've flown the snot out of RealFlight though, and on a calm to 10-13mph day I can rip up the sky with my Edge. It's quite fun. I was just curious what the consensus is on when flying in "wind" leaves the realm of nuts and enters the land of just plain stupid.

Keep in mind, I live in the Midwest and from what I've been told, if if want to fly out here, I'd better learn to fly in the wind.
