My two penneth on the wind issue - 15kt is the C42 crosswind limit, although it can cope with a little more.
In the Pilot flight test (December 2004) it says that the book limit then was 15kt at 90 degrees to the runway, but the instructor at the school where it was being tested claimed to have landed at 26kt with full flap before the control limits ran out. He also claimed not to have found a limit at 1st stage flaps!
Confession time, it wasn't the crosswind limit that made me elect to learn in a C42, it was one of the few microlights for training on when I started that had a heater in it.
