The laws of physics say that an object's weight has nothing to do with its ability to deal with wind. It has ALL to do with how much wind it "catches" (how much surfaces area it has and how that surface area is shaped), in relation to how much thrust/power it has to overcome that force. Has...

I agree, flying in more wind than the drone is designed for is a bad idea. My whole point was that it's weight, as you had mentioned in a previous post, as being the reason it won't do well in "high winds"...has nothing to do with how much wind it can fly in...that's all.

How much something weighs has nothing to do with it's ability to fly in or resist wind...it's all about how much thrust the motors can produce, compared to the force of the wind acting on the frame...which with a small frame, ain't much. As far as flying higher than 400 feet...someone flying up...
