Is the p-38 capable of handling any wind at all?
From : Don Stackhouse
All of the Roadkill models are designed to be able to handle enough wind
for practical backyard flying.
The P-38's extra power makes it one of the best of the series in this
regard. It will handle 5-10 knots with no trouble, and is capable of more.
Half-throttle cruising speed is about 13 to 15 mph. I've flown the P-38
successfully in 12 knots gusting to 20 winds, but at that point it's
starting to be too much work to be fun anymore.
