Heading to fly the P3 along the north coast. Wind speeds I think have to get up to around 20mph is this still OK for the phantom ?

Any other tips for flying along a coastal line?

:)
 
While the Phantom can technically fly in 20 MPH wind speeds, you should keep the following in mind:
  • Excessive wind speeds near the ground can cause the Phantom to tip on takeoff/landing.
  • If you're flying with the wind, you'll be flying against the wind when returning home. That means your return to home trip could take a lot longer than you had planned.

If the wind is onshore, beware of spray and general humidity. Salt destroys electronics.
 
Just on our way home now. The winds were really really strong. Felt way more than 25mph. The phantom was working hard to counter the winds! Done a fairly good job but I didn't fly it the way I would have liked to

Haven't got my set of filters either yet so never really got the footage I'd have liked :(

Maybe another time!
 
Don't forget wind at ground level is not the same as 200ft up
