I fly all of these in 15 mph winds without being too anxious.
What works best is symmetrical airfoil or close, heavier wing loading and speed.
The wind grabbed my Kadet Senior Sport last week, providing a few "interesting moments." This got me interested in getting out a model that was better suited to windier conditions.
I pulled out my old GP Super Sportster 60, and plan to fly it for the first time in a few years.
Sportsters, no matter the size, handle the wind well.
