You beat me to it. High drag is one, big wing area, low inertia, a lot more air resistance, particularly the WWI variety... Besides more work to fix. Said that, I fly my foam tiger moth any day wind or not. Why? I could care less if it breaks. So, since the TM knows this, it does not crash:-) On very breezy days, it does not land. It does the famous plop-flip. Plops put of the air, and flips immediately. Since it happens basically a 0 forward speed, it keeps surviving...
