ive been wondering how the 89 slick handled the wind in post stall and rollers. I think around that range of airframe is my next logical step

I've got a video of my buddy Humberto flying it on the deck in the wind... It's impressive!

15 mph will make the 5X" planes teeter-totter on landings, the 89 has enough mass it just plows through.

No sure I agree if its down the runway. I landed my 48" EPP and 48" Yak today without issue... It's crosswinds and gusts they don't like :D

Yeah, straight-on winds are no problem. But how often do you get a perfect wind down the runway? Doesn't ever happen for me. :)

Lucky for me, I fly at a big grass field, that allows me to approach to land from enough angles that I can mitigate most crosswinds. Often times here, the wing blows in from a southern direction, which gives me a "down the runway" approach.

I don't have the right to vote on the giveaway thread, but the JA 37 Viggen is my favorite!

The funnest airplane I've FLOWN was the T-34C doing aerobatics over Pensacola Florida's beaches...

My favorite plane however is the A-10 as I think it's probably the most feared plane on the battlefield.
