With my carona I absolutely cannot fly in wind conditions strong enough to mess up my hair. When it gets to that drgre of wind I can no longer fly comfortably for feer of crashing. Also, without the canopy on, I find there is more controol in windy conditionsbut then I lose the air bag so I try not to fly without my canopy. I would agree with Darth that lowere degree blade grips will improve stability but I am not willing to change down to 5 degrees as my 6 degrees barely get's me in the air for long (darn brushed motor).
