I use a basic rule for flying in the wind . Some planes I will leave at home . I quess to sum it up there are several planes in my hanger I dont like to fly in the wind and some it doesnt matter they range from a .40 size trainer to a 1/4 scale . As the marble and bowling ball go which won is easier to stop with an Opposite reaction. I would Quess the marble.There is a whole lot of factors to consider in what plane to fly in the wind. But after all the science mumbo jumbo, and reading the forums that have discussed this topic before, it comes down to this. Everyone has there own "opinion" on what plane is better in the wind. So it seems its all "personal preferance".[quote]ORIGINAL: daver29



Put a marble and a bowling ball on the kitchen table and try to blow them both off...
Same aerodynamics, different mass..
