Default RE: wind speed

Iam with graybeard here there are a lot of high numbers being spoken about being flown in, the guy with the gws slowfly at 25 mph I don't think so.What GB is asking is what are you using to tell you these wind speeds.I fly at 1000ft and when we get 17-20 mph winds with gusts over that we get planes chucked about on the ground 60 size extra's and trainers so a slowfly wouldn't even make it out of the car.
We know our speeds as a few guy's have hand held anenometers,the LMA here in the uk will only fly at 25 mph as long as it is not seriously gusty and these guys fly 100lb plus planes.
