Default RE: How Windy Is To Windy

Wind seems to depend on the plane

For example, i like flying my trainer in the wind. Heavy, easy to control, and can be "parked" right in front of you. I did have the engine quit once and landed within 3 ft of the end of the runway so be careful!

My funtana, on the other hand, doesn't do the same in wind. It's huge control surface act like kits and it is reletively light for is almost 60 inch wing.

My groovy 50 3a cuts through the wind no problem. It is heavy, sleak, flies fast, and has small control surfaces.
