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.
True enough, but irrelevant. We're not weighing a badly set up heavy model against a well set up light one. We're talking about simply the effects of weight on comparably set up models. And in that scenario, a little extra weight does help a model penetrate the wind better, all else being equal.
