A wind of maybe 10 knots is my limit. And altitudes of 10 feet are
possible on the rate indicator!!!!!! Believe it or not!!!!


I believe it, man! Why, I tried that at 11 knots one time and was
tragically killed in the ensuing fireball.

True story.

I tried it at 9 knots and died horribly as well. I guess I need lower
limits.
