Chip,
I love your Ultimate! It's my 5th ultimate in a row - bought it because I shot my 52% scratch built down last summer and needed to get in the air quickly. I get harrier wing rock with all of them, though. It may have to do with the fact we fly regularly in 30+ knot winds here in TX. In calm wind it's like a big baby........

OK, I thought you were refering to 10-15mph winds, I can see somewhat your point, but I think in those winds 30+mph with all that wing area, it will never completely stall. Another thing I feel to be true is that in high winds I think the shorter wingspan is probably your worst enemy, for that one particular thing.
