I use UAV Forecast and don't fly in anything more than 12klm/hr winds. What is your limit??

For just flying around I stop around 20mph or so. For quality imaging/video work I don't try in more than 10 -12mph because it gets exaggerated in the final product.
 
15 mph is my general limit, but I'll push my limit to 20 if I'm flying straight into the wind.
 
Don't know what the wind speed was but she was at a pretty steep angle while hovering.
When i looked back at the telemetry she hit 61mph. The entire flight was very steady however, and I felt completely safe flying over a lake,,,,,until an eagle came by so I bought her home
 
I tried in 15-20 mph last weekend. Way too strong. It kemp moving all over. I basically took it up about 50 ft, hovered for about 10 seconds, then came back down. I usually have about 12 as my max.

I fly in anything under 25mph. Just making sure if it's 15 to 25mph I'm going into the wind and not with it. And I'll call it a day if it starts gusting to 30.
