Bruce and Keith... you both recommended the SIG Ninja. It looks right along the lines of what I'm looking for. I live in Oregon and the slope winds here can be strong a lot of the time. With some extra ballast, how does this plane handle strong winds? What about in times of light lift? Also, how durable is it compared to an all EPP ship? Thanks in advance!!
