When I was a teenager, flying regularly at the schoolyard(s) the Mini Mambo
came out when it was gusty. It DID seem to handle it better than most
others I flew back then. (even the Hornet, Mach None, Pacer, Mini Kaos, etc)
Didn't bother with wheels (never did). Every flight was handlaunch and catch,
or a belly-flop landings.
Perhaps it was just the 10 ounces of radio gear in it that made it penetrate so well!
