RE: What Plane do I want?
Crash90 - the Kadet Sr ARF handles winds like they aren't there. I have a NextStar for my boy and have run out of aileron on landing in 90 deg. crosswind. Took the clubs Kadet Sr ARF (with RCV .56) up as the wind kicked up to 15, G to 20. The Kadet was so much fun we passed the Tx back and forth trying to do spot landings on the asphalt runway doing vertical approaches.
You can't go wrong with the Kadet Sr. ARF. I'm going to modify my Kadet Sr BYI wing to the ARF specs just 'caus it's so much to fly.
