I had 2 students on my Alpha 60 yesterday in winds 20 gusting to over 25. The plane handled it with no issues, but my controls are set to about twice the factory recommended throws - a bit touchy for the students but necessary for landing in those winds. I use the stock RTF TX and a JR 6102 which is set up so low rates give the factory throws. I'm going to have my students fly on the 6102 using low rates so they don't overcontrol, but the plane really benefited from the higher rates in the winds. Take-off and landing rolls where in the neighborhood of 5 ft (landings could have been shorter if I would have push it) and the Evolution .61 never missed a beat.
