at about what wind speed will it begin to brake? can it over rev?

This turbine can take 120mph winds. With most of our diversion controllers and a dump load it will keep the turbine from overcharging the batteries. Install a fuse to keep the motor from over heating. We can recommend one depending on the voltage you choose

It is upto 15mph,you could slow down speed by brake pedal.Regards,kimoutlet

It does have a few stops between all the way down and all the way up. Just don't let the wind catch it.

Yes! I live across from an open field with no trees in the front yard for a wind break. My house faces the west so we almost always have a fairly significant west wind blowing in our direction across the open field. It's been 5 or six months and it's still up there with no sign of it blowing down. Make sure its secured as directed and you should be fine. DO NOT try to put it up if it's the least bit windy...it's very big and will easily get away from you.

I don't know actual wind speeds but if your anchor points are solid it can handle a good wind. Has provides good shelter in windy rain storms for us

Yes it can be manual over-ride.you must remember any movement in it's path will set it off.

If you live where there is any wind/breeze it flips over & does no good. Mine protects my hood more that the windshield. I would not recommend.

Only, & I mean ONLY, if there is absolutely no breeze, let alone any wind. I did all the mods- larger tail rotor, more weight in the nose, i even swapped in an F45 tail rotor motor which is about an extra 1/8-1/4 inch longer- and this heli fully charged cannot over come that much breeze or any wind. Bottom line I LOST IT!

Hello, this plane is cabable of handling `0 to 20 MPH winds, However, while you are learning, you will want to practice in much lower winds until you feel more comfortable with the plane.

It has done a nice job at highway speeds, although I had a 40 mph head wind once and I had to do a little work on it. I no longer use it because I have a 5th wheel

Bibration noise is loud on winds over 15 mph. Not appropriate for roof mountin as noise travel. I just took my down and plan to sell it.

I enjoy this in 5-7 mph winds. great response to input and I think it handles better than my mjx .

If wind gusts are a problem I would set the turbine inside of a screen box so as to limit mother natures ability to whip the turbine. I believe it will handle up to 60 MPH winds if mounted properly.

If you only wanted it as a wind breaker... it should work fine. The cost is very reasonable, so why not try it.

no braking other than the frictional drag from the gear trains and motors - just a garden cart when not under power.plan to use it like a wheelbarrow when going downhill.

No but, it's top speed is only 2.5mph and the wheels have resistance when not "in the throttle" so as soon as the throttle is no longer being pushed, it only takes about 6 inches to come to a stop. Unless your child is heading down the side of a mountain, the lack of a brake really won't be an issue.

I live in Oregon and it does get wind here. If the wind shold ever tear down the sail, it would not damage the deck.
