Your Ultra Stick will make windy days a lot easier for you rcworld2000. If you want to make it a dedicated windy day plane, set it up as a tricycle gear plane and just a touch nose heavy. Set up a lot of rudder throw and use a prop toward the high pitch/ low diameter range. If you're using a .46 engine, a 9x7 prop is probably good although a 10x6 will give you more vertical pull.
