Default RE: bigger and heavier

Chris, just my 2 cents worth, a low wing plane would be better that a high wing for runway handliing. One of my major issues when I first started flying was the high wing would tend to flip the trainer over on me when turned cross wind. I went to low wing tail draggers and that issue went away in the wind, although the 4*60 tended to weather vane into the wind when rolling out after landing with a cross wind.I pulled out an old Trainer and was flying it the last couple weeks and it picked up right where my first trainer left off some four years back.

Hopefully, Grey Beard will hop in here and give you some real advise on which planes are good windy day ones.
