Find me a crosswind at 500’agl less than 10 knots? Maybe 5:00AM to 9:00AM, but not likely?

I have no idea where you got your "10 knot crosswind" thing, but here's a drone from DJI that has a top speed of 45 mph and a 30 minute endurance.

Try holding a course with 5 pounds of thrust and a crosswind? It’s one thing to stay in the air. It’s a whole other to not end up where the wind takes you. The higher up you go the more the winds aloft push you.
