RE: Help with next purchase.
Wyoming huh? wind would be a big factor
It is had to beat a Four Star 60 or Pulse 60 except for the gust factor.
I have found the Horizon Ultra Stick 60 to be the most wind gust resistant plane I have owned. I wouldn't bother with the flaps.
I have found the plane to be a blast with a computer radio and maximum rates and 60% expo.
All these planes do well with a 100. I think you will be OK in the 5000' - 7000' altitude with these planes also when using the 100/
