It is not underpowered, it has a 600 class motor up front. However there are several low priced brushed motors that can be used if you want more power. A speed600 turning the 9x5.5 prop at about 13,000 RPM is very good indeed..........

The only bad thing about flying in the wind in my opinion is deadstick landings. They always mean alot of walking...... Thankfully, that doesn't happen since I started using Saito engines.

I think that a slight breeze is okay. But I also fly in the wind just to get the training!
Crosswind isn't fun to fly in.

Living in the Desert of Southern California you dont fly after 10am unless the wind is blowing. Without the wind acting as a fan the heat will get to you very quickly.
