Larry, I'm going to ask a dumb question: have you sealed your aileron and elevator gaps? Maybe I'm just an unwittingly bold pilot (not my intention, let me assure you), but winds 12 gusting to 18 isn't *too* bad for me to fly in. Let me also say that before I sealed my aileron gaps, 12mph was at the hairy edge of my comfort zone. Lots of pucker factor with unresponsive ailerons. If you haven't sealed the gaps and can get to a home improvement store, pick up some 1.5" wide blue painters tape and apply it to the aileron gaps. It makes all the difference in the world.
