Volantex Corsair V2 400mm (63g) foamie plane using the gyro to offset the blustery winds. One app said 31mph and I felt it was 25mph myself at times, mostly around 20mph+. It is great fun flying in these conditions but I suggest starting with lower speed winds and building up. The aircraft is very fast and twitchy into the wind, stable with the wind. Slow into the wind, will hover or fly backwards, and then go really fast with the wind plus you need to give throttle. So you need to practice. I think this build up flying skills and reflex actions. Plus it is fun. Immense fun, something that this type of plane can offer in these conditions. I am now not afraid to fly in virtually any weather.

The plane didn't crash all day and came home safe. Only plane that flew that day at the field due to the strong gusty winds.
