Default RE: High Wind RC Aircraft

I had put together a Pheonix models Giles 202 with a OS .46ax "It may not be the best plane out there but it was cheap and looked decent",and it flew wonderful in 10-20 mile winds. Once it was airborn it cut through the wind like it wasnt even there. I think in order to beat the wind you will need a slightly bigger/heavier plane than the little park flyer types.

I have a Seagull extra 300ep plane I toy around with Although its a great flying airplane I wouldnt even think to fly it in winds that the giles will fly in.
