The AF1 does OK in a lite wind, but you have to watch flying into more wind as the nose lifts and if you stay on the power to long it will climb into a stall.
Once you turn, back way off the power and just let it glide the down wind leg, and get back onto the power to nose up before turning.
I've tried speed runs down wind but since this is a 2 channel any time you try to speed up it wants to climb.
That's why I asked about the AF2 fans, if they move more air maybe four of them on an AF1 would help in the stall.
Since the AF1 fans are $25 a pair I wouldn't think the AF2 ones would be that much different.
