Matt,

I have to agree with Joe on this. Years ago, that was the case, but the newer setups seemed to have leveled the playing field. I still don't believe there is a clear advantage to them, although many will disagree, but I think the playing field is definitely level now. I think that with the newer setups and prop choices they can fly pretty well on windy days. I flew Chip's Neu powered Passport last year and that thing was a rocket ship if you wanted it to be.
