I want to go out and fly my P3P today but it's too windy in my opinion. Not sure what you guys do but when it's windy outside like today, I usually check my closest airport's METAR.
Here's the latest one: 101950Z 13015G22KT 10SM SCT025 26/18 A3020
Basically winds coming from 130 degrees at 15 knots gusting to 22 knots. In MPH that would be winds at 17mph gusting to 25mph.
It's been like this for the last 3 days and yesterday as I was hovering, I noticed the P3P could hold it's position with GPS but as I was descending, it seemed to wobble a bit. I got scared that I was going to catch it in its own vortex ring and crash it so I descended very slowly and hand caught instead.
What are your personal wind maximums?
