Default RE: Judging to much wind?

When the wind blows over full fuel jugs, we think about packing up in my neck of the woods. Juet recently I flew at a pattern contest with 35MPH winds and gusts into the 40's... boy that was a fun day. On a more serious note, try flying in some windy conditions until you get a feel for what you can handle. The key to this is to get a vetran pilot you trust to spot for you in case you are having problems landing, i.e. let them land the plane for you.
