Good: sustained wind at or below 10 mph
Caution: 10–15 mph or gusty conditions
Grounded: over 20 mph or beyond your limits
Keep the model clearly visible throughout flight
Haze and low cloud reduce orientation
Do not launch when visual contact is uncertain
Dry conditions are best for electronics
Land before nearby storms arrive
No flying in precipitation or thunder
These thresholds are general guidance, not clearance to fly. Weather can change quickly. Follow current park notices, FAA rules, AMA guidance, club rules, and the limits of your model and experience. Lightning nearby means flying stops; wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder.
