Ibid on the Stik's for windy conditions.

When the wind is so high that even the large planes get blown over on the ground, I'll put in big battery packs on my Big Stik .60 and fly....
The extra weight helps cut through the wind w/o adversely affecting lift because of those thick wings.

The Stik can do things in the wind that leaves others watching in amazement...

e.g. Torque rolls and prop hangs as the plane is blown down the entire field runway by the wind.

Zero speed and backward flight in the winds.

Heck you can take the plane up to a good altitude, drop the engine to idle and let it dance in the breeze for a LONG time.

I've put in 40+ minute flights by keeping the engine at idle half the time.

"What's he got in there?"
"Is the innards of the plane nothing but fuel?"
"How long has he been flying?"

Are questions I hear a lot when it is windy.
