I'm pretty new to electric 3D, and want something that will handle wind. I see the flat foamies getting tossed around like a ragdoll in 10 mph winds, so I don't think that is for me. Maybe something blasa, like the reflex, or the GP reactor or whatever it's called. I basically want something that i will be able to hover in my backyard, or go down to the park after school and fly. It can get pretty windy in the winter here, especially around the beach. I was about to get an airfoilz edge, but they have been out of stock for a long time. I don't have a huge budget either seeing as I'm only 16, but I'd still like a few suggestions. I want to crisp up my flying on my Goldberg Sukhoi, and I think an electric will be more benficial than my simulator.

Go to North East Sailplanes and look at the Tuffe and Extra Tuffe 3d epp foam plane. Call them up and talk to the owner Sal. Won't be disappointed.

Check out the Super series of planes from [link]http://www.3dfoamy.com[/link]. They will handle the wind as well any others.

My 3D balsa park flyer(Skeeter 30) doesn't handle wind any better than the foamies I have flown, but it sure would break up a lot more if I plant it. The heavier the plane the better it will handle the wind and generally the more difficult it will be to 3D. All of my 3D park flyers are less than 1lb AUW.

RCSkydiving.com has an airfoiled Edge 540 that handles really well in the wind. Also, I believe Fancy Foam has a few models that carry some weight and our good for outdoors if you set them up right. Good Luck.
