bignos Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi, whats the rule of thumb for gust strength? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 If the wind speed varies more than 5-6mph then its gusting, I would not recommend flying due to the possibility of stalling the wing if one hits you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 My rule of thumb is... If the 'Variation' is more than 50% its not going to be fun. EG 6-12 = OK 5-13 = Pants. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
