I have the T28 micro; great fun and it does survive beginner landings well. However, the OP started out saying he had a Super Cub and a Super Micro Cub, but didn't like the micro as the wind blew it around a bit. So, I'll assume that while the T-28 Micro might be better than the Super Micro Cub, there's still some need to handle a bit more wind.


The original premise of the larger T-28 sounds reasonable. If it's flight characteristics are similar to the smaller one, it may be faster but still very controllable. The reviews of the Archer also sound like the right direction. I have an Ares 370, and it handles moderate wind pretty well, docile but not too docile, and the flight times are surprisingly long.

A step up in size from an Ares would be the Sensei or Apprentice; the Apprentice is starting to get a bit big for a park. I've seen that one fly and it's an impressive model.

The problem for this requirements is not that there are no/not many choices; there are actually too many. I am working on solving that by buying as many as I can fit in my house!
