Default pizazz eng-prop combo

I have flown mine in high wind several times. I dont know why it would be harder to fly with the wind behind????
Unless you were trying to fly it to slow. Remember that ground speed and airspeed dont have anything
to do with each other.That plane has no idea how fast the ground is going by.. If you were flying it down wind at
50mph ground speed the plane was only going 30 mph wind speed which would make it waffle around a little.
The hard part on a windy day should be a smooth landing. The average day were we fly is about 10-15 mph.
I have buddy boxed people at 25 knots. It is all good untill you have to land the thing.
