[QUOTE="Northwood Mediaworks, post: 105211, member: 6411"] Remember to look at the wind profile, it will show you how far up it may be safe to go... You should be able to handle gusts up to about 32km... (some guys will risk more, not me!) just remember to keep it [U]low[/U] on days where you are getting close to that threshold. If its like that at 10 meters, then I would pass on flying. There are some other resources you can try if you have a computer handy, somehave apps also. try Windy.com and [URL='https://www.ventusky.com/']Weather Forecast Maps[/URL] I often do a comparison between all three of those... Windy lets you check ground level and next up to 100m, so it lets you see the difference, and shows you the wind direction(s) too. Where I live, its almost always windy, so planning ahead is essential. Watch your Spark, if its leaning way over to one side or being buffeted, then it may be struggling to keep the gimbal level. A strong wind gust can knock the compass and IMU out of sync with each other, then you lose your GPS lock, then you are manually flying. Sport mode will give you the best emergency wind fighting power if that ever happens to you. Fly safe [/QUOTE]
