I allways say that flying in high wind is easy. Landing in high wind is another story! Like everyone said, a steady down the runway wind is much easier to deal with than a gusty one. Also your plane has allot to do with it. Trainers that fly slow and have slow reactions to inputs are harder to land in wind than a sport plane. Most will agree that 5/10 mph is about tops for a beginner. 15/20 is flyable but no fun for anyone beginner or pro. Good luck, mxerman
