RE: Need a cheap, throw around ARF: Impossible?
How about a SPAD?
I may be wrong but light wing loading and high wind don't play that well together... Since most SPADs have a fairly high wing loading, the wind does not knock them around that much. And being plastic, the back of your truck will not be an issue either. As for the pattern stuff, you got me on that one. There's not much to building one, and cost is under about 15 bucks.
