The 63" wing isn't the problem. The Cloud Dancer 60 has a 73" wing with almost 1000 sq. inches wing area. Its the wing sitting up top where the wind can catch it that is the problem. For flying in breezy conditions give me a low wing any day! I had a Cessna 182 that was great in mild breezes. It was fast and aerobatic but when the winds got into the 20 to 30 km. range it would want to flair and climb in the gusts on landing. [8D]
