If you were to use a nylon screen with very small mesh... coupled with light wing loading plane, I'd fully expect it to fly. I've been camping in my modern tent with winds strong enough to send more than a few tents cartwheeling down the river bed. There was so much resistance in the screen mesh on this thing, you could barely feel any air movement inside with ALL the windows open. Guess the next time I upgrade, I'll have to cut out the screens and do some covering.
