Default RE: how much wind is generally too much?

Wind limits are a personal thing. everyonehas their limits. Some planes handle the wind well, like my GP Reactor, and others do not. I have flown my Trainer in 40 mph gusts and it was a blast! Not something I would reccomend though as I came home with a busted out firewall. I actually enjoy flying ina crosswind as I have spent a ton of sim time working on my cross wind landings and I get alot of satisfation from puting a plane down in a stiff crosswind. I think i may be in the minority though!
