Yak, in response to wind stability. I'm still going to hold my ground that a well trimmed light model will always handle wind ( and gusts ) better then the same model, poorly set up and carrying an extra pound. The well set up model will always react less to any wind disturbance and when correction is needed, it will be a smaller input.
I wouldn't disagree with that at all. Stability is more about trim and CG position than actual wing loading. But speed and particularly size will make a difference to how badly the gusts affect the model.
