RE: How much wind is too much?
In winds much above 20, I tend to go home, unless there's a lot of B.S.ing going on. It's not only the wind, it's what happens to the air just above the ground when the wind gets above this. I find getting low and slow enough to land can get pretty hairy with the wind rotors, wind shear and just plain turbulance going on.
I know it can be done and you guys who wouldn't fly much if you didn't go out in these conditions, are probably better flyers for it. I just don't find these conditions much fun and have to ask myself why?
