ORIGINAL: forestroke

and both are not going to get you a very good plane in the wind. both planes are prone to ground looping and weathervaning. but if that's the kind of plane you want, no one will stop you. just that after all that's said in this thread, it's hard to imagine these are the two planes that you've come up with!
I've got to go along with forestroke here if simply on groundhandling. You should really work to master 15mph winds and that work is more easily, and confidently, handled with a low or shoulder wing plane with adequate power for wind penetration . Planes like the Kaos, 4-star and the Stiks will get you there much quicker then your choices.
