Hello Steve,

no sweat, no worry, there are no wind limitations!

The wording "No operation at wind velocities greater than
8m/s (16 kt)" is a left-over from early days and will disappear
in the next issue of the flight manual.
But keep in mind, that ground handling becomes more and
more difficult with increasing wind velocities.
To avoid a tip-over before taking off from a slope, you must apply 
the procedure discribed in section 3.1 of the flight manual. 
Doing so, you will enjoy a real, true vertical take-off at high
wind speeds!

You also should not be frightened by the "design complexity".
I recommend to start with building the horizontal tail, because
it shows basically all difficulties you encounter later on
fuselage and wing. You learn to work with the material "Member 60"
without risking too much.

Best regards,

Dieter
