Well the manual tells you the recommended max wind speed, but it probably varies depending on your model. The p3 has a hard time going over 30 mph on a windless day, so maybe 25 mph winds max, but it would struggle. P4 in sports mode can probably handle 40+ mph. I haven't, wouldnt, and won't test these just in case something goes wrong. I rarely fly in winds over 15 mph. The highest winds I've flown in were probably just over 20 mph, and while I've never had my phantom unable to fly back, I've had a few times at the beach where it would fly back at around 3 MPH in p mode. I can usually get a slightly faster speed out of it in atti mode, but in high winds that's probably not a good idea. So I'd say 20 is probably your max, maybe a bit more with a p4. I wouldn't risk it. (*End long winded post*)

Hello sad1989 we have been out in your area and I was flying at 56mph so I would think the wind must have been over 25mph to give me that top speed
