Crash

Theres not many about but try for the Mk4. It's wider, takes more weight and has better handling characteristics. The handling improved with each model, they had a larger rudder and improved yaw control. The Mk4 is more like a conventional a/c when it comes to yaw control, the previous models just had little oddities, none of which take long to get used to.

If you're concerned about the narrow track put a Grove undercarriage on. It improves the ground handling.

I haven't sampled the delights of high x winds in one myself but I know a man who has and like anything, in experienced hands, they do take quite a lot.
