Sorry I wasn't more help as to how to functionally hand launch in strong winds, I just think it'll be tricky.

You shouldn't have any problem launching from the ground. They operate very well in wind.
Get the aircraft up a little quicker in an open area. Altitude is your friend if you're worried about swaying into something.

Threw some orange props on the front to help with orientation when flying a bit further away. Think I'm going to attach two orange front landing skids and two orange front prop guards (for now- they won't be on for long), also to see how that looks when it's way out there. Found four of...
