RE: how much wind is generally too much?
I am sure that you will get all kinds of answers on this, but most airplanes in the above five lb weight range fly well in 10/15mph winds.
As always the flying site has some influence on how much wind can be handled. If the winds are almost straight down the runway it is no problem as opposed to a 90 degree crosswind.
Anywhere you live on the North American Continent is going to have wind a some point so get out there and learn to enjoy flying in it.
