Default RE: Will changing paddle angle affect windy day performance?

Oh I definitely understand that I'm not going to get the kind of performance that I would out of a 600 class machine. I just want to get it as good as I can. I'll try some extra flybar weight and see what happens with it. I'm guessing a wheel collar on each end is a good place to start?

As for being thin skinned, I'm really not. The post I reacted to essentially said that the solution is to fly it better. True enough, but I also have been in the hobby long enough to know that setup can have a big effect on how a machine handles. This thread was about setup, so I didn't need someone to ignore the question and dismiss me as some newb wanting what isn't possible. Most of my 3,000 posts here on RCU are in the beginner's plane forum, most of them helping newbies get started well. Many thanks to you guys who offered some information, and I'm sure I'll have other questions as I get into this more.
