[QUOTE="Mark M, post: 67970, member: 10747"] Agreed. Winds are a HUGE consideration, especially at elevated altitudes. I use the UAV Forecast app before I fly. Example, for my home zip code currently: 30 ft = 16mph winds 100ft = 22mph 250ft = 28mph 500ft = 32mph 1000ft = 38mph Spark has a top speed in sport mode of ~30mph. Using the above example, if you are trying to RTH into the 28 mph wind at 250ft, you likely won't make it. Another plug for this app, it gives you the current forecast of KP radio wave interference which is also key to know when to fly or not. [/QUOTE]
