[RKDinOKC]

Back when I used to fly R/C planes it was not uncommon for the wind speed to be above the stall speed of the plane. While not ideal it was loads of fun. You could fly backwards in relation to the ground. It was cool doing backwards touch and go landings.

Went to visit my brother in Atlanta. While there went out the the local R/C flying field. There were 3 or 4 out flying their planes. The wind got up to 8 mph, they packed up and went home because it was too windy.

Wimps.

There are R/C airplane competitions where the participants are judge by how precisely they can fly a pattern. Those competitions are not cancelled due to wind unless it gets above 40 mph.
