Default Gp Dr1 Triplane

Well the summer is over. Wondering if there are any more experiences with the Fokker DR 1.

I read Dick Pettit article in RC report twice and one in Flying Models, and of course on RCM. Everyone seems to like this plane. I would think it would be difficult to fly, but the article's and responses I have read all support its good flying qualities.

The two fields I fly at are paved and a average 10 - 15 knot winds 5 to 20 degrees off center of runway, cornering wind is common.
How do you think the Fokker would handle in these conditions ?
