Back in the early 80s, I tried out Big Jim's El-Jay and Bee-Jay designs. They flew very well.

Good looking stuntships Randy, built em again, and pay off the wind gods, Few planes feel better in calm, but they are a giant pain in hi winds

Randy,
Both these planes (and especially the blue and white one) flew pretty well in the wind overall. As I have discovered, the more you go up in AR, the more sensitive the plane gets, not to wind, but to turbulence. In relatively heavy but clean wind, I had very little problem with these designs. But take them to a turbulent site with a lot of trees around or whatever, and they got pretty weird.
Interesting I have flown a lot of LJ BJ and other hi aspect ratio planes, when high winds came the all wanted to really wind up very badly, Turbulance also affexted them a lot, maybe we have 2 differant definitions of high winds :)
