I know what you mean about the wind. I fly an Extra 300,but I have a skyraider II that I like to play around with, and I'm installing the servos in a modeltech magic extra 300. That one will be ready to fly this weekend so I'm shooting for sat. for its maiden.
Good luck with your fuel line problem- I know that kind of stuff can get frustrating. I've got plenty of fuel line if you need it.
