Default RE: High wind planes

Yeah, On those windy days ( 18mph and above ) where even the Giant scales pack it in and go home, I'm usually the only person out flying with a .60 Big Stik.

The heavier plane cuts through the air nicely, and it's a blast flying it in the wind.

Hover the plane and it looks like I'm flying a kite as it moves across the field carried by the wind.

Nose it into the wind and it becomes a big glider, often flying backwards, etc.

It's my "go to" plane for windy days.

No problems with landings or takeoffs on a Big Stik. Haven't as much as scraped a wing during high winds.
