I was wondering how long it would take you to see my last post and respond, You know what Zor, I like you, because you have spunk!!! Now, you stated A light weight model flies like a light weight model . It has less mass and less inertia to handle the wind and the wind gusts. It also, of course, has less strength and less resistance to damage in a crash. It often determines if the crashed model ends up in the garbage or on the repair bench.

A lightweight model dampens the effect of gusts faster than it's porky counterpart so they both for the most part act the same in gusty conditions Zor. Guys that only know to build heavy always state the same reason for building that way; they take a crash better and heavy flies better, oh especially in the wind. That is all just a myth because that MASS and INERTIA your talking about, sure does come into play when you pile drive it in. Kinda like catching an 8 oz baseball at 100 mph, good catch right. Now increase the weight of that ball to maybe 2 or 3 pounds and catch that baby inbound at 100 mph. After you get out of the hospital, let us know how heavier does not hit with more energy...
