Flyaway - Prevention use the app "UAV forecast" to check air speed above your location.

Many new pilots do not realize that the air speed/wind above there take off point can be much more severe than at ground level.
The app UAV forecast will help those new pilots become more aware of their surroundings.
As many of us have learned the tree branches near the ground may not be moving very much but at above 50' it is a totally different situation.
For the pilots flying toy drones like the mini it is just a matter of time before a gust of wind takes your toy for a ride.
