I am new to this forum. I was hoping someone can help me with this question. I am wanting to get into a biplane and I was wanting to start off with the Alfa Albatros which is sold at Hobby-Lobby. I have never flown a biplane except in the real flight and I am having a dickens of a time getting my landings consistant. If I have it set to no wind at all I'm ok most of the time, the problem is with wind in the 5 to 10 mph. When trying to land in the wind, the biplane wants to keep sailing up at touch down then it will stall and wreck. I don't have this problem with single wing only on the biplanes. If someone can help thanks. Also if someone knows anything about this plane and has an opinion I would like to hear this too.

Biplanes have more drag so you have to keep some throttle on all the way to touchdown.
