Default RE: Flying when windy question

Gusts can take all the fun out of it. Steady 15 knot winds would make me reconsider a flight - but it depends greatly on the model and the relative angle to the runway.

It's hard to land a model with a negative speed over ground when nose into a strong headwind and downwind of the runway.
