My plane is a Mick Reeves' designed Fournier RF-4 powered glider. It has a 10'. Wingspan. Electric powered. The usual aileron,Rudder,elevator,throttle plus a retracting belly wheel and spoilers. It came out pretty good, modeled after one in Las Cruces,NM. I know if I want to fly in contests, I need to be able to handle differing wind conditions, hence the question.
