RE: 450 se's stable in wind?
Good point that.
On very 1st flight I struggled a bit, (it was calm) it was less stable than when undressed. I put that down to CG, she was tail heavy, I had to modify the battery plate as my batts are fairly heavy to move them forward.
In fact I am glad they are heavy as obviously better to use batt weight than ballast!
I have yet to try her in calm conditions, the weather over here is awfull at the moment + dark evenings! Gary.
