Any thoughts on rules of thumb people use when judging whether the weather is suitable to fly.
One significant issue is wind. I flew when it was apparently 11mph (according to the local forecast) and at 100' the Phantom was fighting to keep position, and was generally unresponsive. I decided to land and call it a day. I think the real issue here was gusting rather than any forecast wind speed (they are different things).
For now I am not flying if the wind speed is in double figures. I guess I will fine tune that as I go.
What do others do ?
