Default RE: High Wind Flying

One day I had a young student that wouldn't fly with me because of the wind, I showed him this photo of Bev filling up and he decided it looked like fun so we went out. His first reaction was that his engine went dead stick because his plane came to a halt after his turn. He got it figured out and had a ball. He will wind fly with his old trainer but still leaves his nice Extra at home. I still think if everyone had a live feed like our weather bug so they could see the true wind speed then these high winds I keep seeing posted would get back down into the 20s.
