I very much enjoy the below illustrated stik in the wind. It's rather large, and fairly heavy even for it's size, but it has plenty of power and control authority. I regularly fly it in crosswinds that keep other planes in the hangar. I personally think a heavier plane is more suited to flying in the wind, not stupidly heavy of course but on the heavy side of the range. Much better dampening and easier to maintain a set speed. The stik in particular has minimal cross section, which helps with crosswinds, and is, as you might expect, without bad habits and entirely predictable, which is always a plus when you're pushing the envelope. (of your comfort zone, no the airplanes!)
