I flew my Ritewing Drak on a very windy evening at "Toxic Beach" in San Francisco. Sustained winds of 20mph and measured gusts to 29mph made for some "interesting" flying! Ground speed into the wind was as low as 9mph and as high as 80mph downwind. Cross wind turns were more like sliding than turning!
