This morning I braved the cold and got a good flight out of the Firebird Stratos, even though the wind was up to 10 to 15 mph. I only noticed that the downwind legs required a lot of up elevator, and the plane had a tendency to climb steeply into the wind. It was easy to compensate and the aircraft had good stability.
Recently, I won 3 eBay auctions for vintage toys and will post pics here as soon as I have all the packages. The first package arrived a few days ago and it was a Saunders 1940 Ford Stock Car Racer. I had one of those when I was a child. Mine broke in half. For a toy manufactured in the early 1950's from a primitive acetate plastic, the example I bought is in pretty good shape.
