Tried to fly today.  Took my Stinger thinking it could handle the wind.  Had wind gusts to 25+.  Quite an interesting expierience.  After taking off, it flew ok in the air, then a slow approach.  Wow I was thinking to myself, you really screwed the pooch this time!  After several attempts I finally got it on the ground using a lot of power to land.  Got lucky, no damage at all, and a half way decent landing.  Needless to say that was my last flight.  Very fortunate to get it down in one piece!  I think I'll reconsider flying in such wind conditions again guys!
