Which plane penetrates best in high winds?
All the planes will penetrate in high winds, but you need to fly them fast, especially the Jazz because it is lightweight. The Jazz is especially designed for dynamic soaring, where speeds can easily reach 100mph, so don’t think it won’t penetrate into heavy winds. The war birds penetrate slightly better than the eraser, because their shape is more slippery and they are a little heavier. In extreme winds you can add lead ballast to the Eraser on top of the main spar to help if you wish. If adding ballast to a war bird (not needed normally), tape lead under the main spar. If you tape the lead to the top of the fuse on a low wing plane such as a war bird, you will get a pendulum effect that makes it quite crabby and even harder to fly.
