I am always in idle up..

 

Higher head speed handle higher wind better... well that reads just plain wrong... but in a word yes

I'd like to know more about this aswell .. Any speed freaks in the house ?

yes just have your heli screaming its tits off and you be right
2150 on the head

 

what I'm about to say all depends on disk loading and size of the heli and rotorblades... but it's all relative.

consider this, for hovering in F3C 1450 in normal conditions and 1490-1500 when it's windier.
1900-1950 and sometimes 2000 in idleup when doing aeros.

For more authority on the tail and cyclic and to get crisper stops and additional momentum during very headspeed taxing manouvers during 3D, higher headspeeds are desirable. It's my understanding that it gets to a point though where you are just wasting energy for no major gain. Being no professional on this subject, I'm sure Dargue's or Marco could shed some light.

Also higher headspeed during crashes means more pieces

Interesting you mentioned the F3C , as I hovered a Hirobo Freya on Sunday when it was windy, only in normal mode, and it took the wind extremely well.

Mind you, the local did sell me a longer flybar and heavy paddles, I think that helps.
