If it seems too windy outdoors to fly, it probably is. Your RC plane or helicopter doesn’t stand much of a chance against wind so it really isn’t worth the risk. Even if you are able to get your aircraft into the air, gusts of wind can cause crashes and could send your aircraft into dangerous areas such as a crowd of people, a tree, or the side of a building.
