Hi from Newbury UK. I'm Alan.
Just ordered my Vision half an hour ago. I have a Parrot AR Drone but it's been annoying me, suddenly deciding it needs to go in the opposite direction than you tell it, then refusing to come back, and it has low tolerance for wind. I fly on Greenham Common, formerly the well known US nuclear airbase, now just wide open common land, though there are various artefacts from the Cold War remaining. As it's flat and wide open there's always at least a breeze, more usually light wind. The Drone wants 10 mph or less according to the book, but in my experience anything much over 5 mph leads to instability.
So apart from saying Hey, my question: what would you think is the highest wind speed you would care to go aloft in? Also, of course, it's better than the Drone isn't it? Of course it is, I'm sure.
