Not interested in wind speed effects on holding a steady hover position over the ground, but on windspeed / relative airflow effects and the avoidance of intake momentum drag during the decel, ie being able to keep the vane straight vs available control power. When close to the ground its easier to "see" the wind direction and fly an into wind decel, or to visually correct during a cross wind decel, which I would aim to avoid much above 35kts, - at height it's harder to know if you are crosswind and the wind is stronger.....
