2nd airplane for windy location
Hello
For your second airplane is there one that can handle windy conditions better then most. Having trouble getting to fly. The wind at field sems to be between 10 and 20 mph most of the time limited to evening flying only. Can 't start before 9 am do to noise restrictions.

When it is blowing more than 15, I usually fly an Ultra Sport 40 or the KAOS 40 and these fly great. And are good second planes. Stable, predictable, and handle great in the wind.
The Great Planes P51 Kits wing is simular to the Ultra Sport 40 wing. Just flew one of these in a 15 mph wind and it was very stable, even at slow speeds.
