The GP Big Stick 60 is an excellent choice for windy conditions, varmit.
We have light winds in the A.M. here in Oregon but I had the chance to visit some fliers back in Wisconsin for a week earlier this month.
When the weather report says "winds, light and variable", better hold on to our hat!
We flew the GP Big Stick 60 and it was rock-solid in 25MPH winds (except at the top of a looping maneuver where it got blown downwind somewhat).
You ask the fellows from that windy area their secret for flying a plane in the wind and they all seem to say...."Just fly the plane". "Pilot errors---Wings not level, nose-up or down rather than level, etc. accentuate the wind"...."Flying in the wind makes you a better pilot".
All the flat-bottom trainers that were flown had aileron-rudder coupling and they flew
almost as well.
Good choice, my friend.
