Default Growing Pains!!

I decided to try my new World Model glass syms out today. I replaced my woodies with the glass blades, and checked my pitch, with the gage. I'm flying -2, +5, + 10. I hovered the heli, set it down and adjusted the blade tracking, and it flew beautifully!! I went through four tanks of fuel (with no problems), and then it began to act sluggish. I noticed it wouldn't hover until 3/4 stick . At about the same time the wind speed picked up and began to gust moderately. Could it be that the wind caused it to bog down, or is this just a coincidence? I was getting the push, pull effect from the wind, and it really kept me on my toes. I'm getting plenty of smoke, and quick throttle response, from idle to top end. I'm powering with OS 32, and had no problems with woodies, although by comparison this is probably the worst wind I have delt with.

What do you think?
Mike
