Default RE: Showtime for Pattern flying?

Yes, I noticed that mine is wind-sensitive too. Must be the light weight; mine is 9 pounds 10 ounces dry.

And the control surfaces are incredibly sensitive; I had to cut 'way back on throw and go with 80% expo to slow the roll rate down to where I wanted it. 60% expo on elevator.

Agreed; I'm looking forward to flying it on a calm day. Gotta get that aileron trim thing sorted out though...

I would still like my question answered; why is this airplane less than desirable for Pattern flying?
