That's a fair assessment indeed. The best times to fly are similar to the times to put a boat on a lake: Early in the morning and evening. Flying midday is only on occasion a good thing. That's not to say that it can't be done, but it's probably gonna be a bumpy ride. I've launched in 10mph winds, but I don't choose that often because it usually gets higher with altitude and flying backwards isn't my favorite. Minimum speed on most wings is 14mph and top out close to 30mph. Gusts & strong thermals are where things get extra
sketchy.

Interesting. We fly the opposite way as you already know, we need thermals, preferably strong thermals which are usually good enough at midday or around that time. But you guys have parachutes in case things get bad?
