Flexwing Advice

Have been flying Group A for 11 years now and have always been quite attracted to flexwings. So much so that no so long ago I took a trial lesson in a flexwing, and after some nervous few moments at the start really loved it, without doubt the most vivd feeling of flying i have ever had!

My concerns, which I would like the benefit of someone with flexwing time to discuss is as to how often one gets to fly in UK weather? Have heard some people say that in the UK its pretty rare that you can fly a flexwing as any more than 10 knots wind is too hairy; others have said that its really down to your own limits and how much arm wrestling with the bar you think is acceptable?? What is generally acceptable?

The cost of ownership really is pulling me towards flexwings but want to know im gonna get me ar*e in the air regularly to make it worthwhile........

Please discuss....
