Picked up an AA today. I got the red "B" version since some seem to hint this channel has faster response and is less prone to range problems. Not sure how to tell if you have the new version of the AA? Anybody? Anyway, winds were 5 to 8 mph and I knew this was probably too much for it but I had a nice big field to try it in. Launched the plane into the wind and the wind speed made it climb way too much...to the point of almost a stall, yet at lower throttle speeds the plane couldn't make progress against the wind. So, I landed it and stuck a penny halfway into the nose. Launched her up again and she handled great! At full throttle it would climb at a good pace and still make good progress against the wind. Even at about 1/2 to 1/3rd throttle the plane would make good progress against the wind yet stay level and not climb on me. Was very surprised the plane could handle these wind speeds but I wouldn't recommend it. A few times I had to play with left/right and tap the throttle to get the plane to loose some altitude and not get too high on me. The amount of air time I got was amazing even on this very first charge. Very neat little plane and it's much smaller than I thought it was. I can see how it would be very hard to damage the thing since it's so light. Looking forward to this body going on me sooner or later so I can yank the electronics and put them in a custom build. By the way, I haven't removed the lower wing yet but will when I get more flights in the stock setup first.
