I suppose this is a bit like how long is a piece of string but I have just been out for my second day of practice and for the first time I experienced a heart in mouth moment when a gust of wind took the PV2 sideways when it was only 10' off the ground. I estimate it was blowing F5 gusting F6. Up in the air the GPS lock seemed to cope OK-ish but I became concerned that a gust would knock it sideways on landing and ruin a prop so I abandoned the training.
So, obviously calm is best (esp for photography) but what wind strengths do more experienced pilots consider too much for safe flying and landing ?
