I will agree the Alpha 60 does fly better due to its size and weight – and it’ll easily handle 25 mph winds to boot. I should have mine back up flying soon after I finish the conversion to flapperons.

Last night I was training with the Alpha predecessor, the Extra Easy 2, in 20 mph winds (like RCKen says, around here if you don’t learn to fly in those winds you don’t get to fly much) and it handled it just like the Alpha 40 – like there was no wind.

Here’s a picture of one of my students Alpha 60 that is powered by a Saito 1.00. I did this fly-by so he could get a picture of is plane. The Alpha will hold this attitude just a hair above stall speed all day long with no loss of control authority.
