Wind speed 20mph, gust 35 mph. Decided to go fly anyway. Went 400 ft, flew about half mile and lost signal. No worry I thought, it will return home. Waited 5 minutes, start panicking. No signals on GO app. Then signal came and bird was still far, far away. Tried to guide bird in but moving very slow. Lost signal again. 40 % battery left at this point. Hopped into car and headed toward bird. Signal came back as I got closer. Brought bird down to 200 ft (less wind?), heard the buzzing sound and spotted the bird. It was right over cemetary. Successfully touchdown with 17% battery left.
Lesson learned. Will never fly in high winds again, at least not long distance.
