Default RE: fighting the wind..

I think that you can count on your Tiger 60 to fly better in the wind. Low wing planes have more ability to do so than high wing trainers. You didn`t say what size your trainer is, but if it`s a 40 then a good breeze will push it around all the more. Larger models ( like the 60 ) handle wind much better. One thing I`ve found with my Avistar is that it handles the wind better if I fly somewhat faster. That takes more advantage of its semi-symmetrical wing.
