RE: A Question about Wind......
No new plane recommendations here. You can fly the Slow Stick in some wind, but I don't care to do it much. It doesn't get blown out of the sky or anything, and once it's up there, it's pretty stable, but I just don't think it's much fun. With the stock motor in a 15mph wind you'll do about 2mph one way, and about a 150mph the other.
I have landed it just fine in that kind of wind. Pretty much like setting down a helicopter.
I suggest you go buy a kite, take it out to fly, and the wind is guaranteed to stop to a dead calm.
Then have the Slow Stick ready and fly before the weather realizes you've tricked it.
