A larger co-axial heli designed for outdoors would be sweet! I keep looking for one , but there really is none available.

I have a Walkera 53#1 that I fly out doors with wind up to 7 mph with not much trouble. The co-axial heli can fly in a little wind but it's the gust that gets them. The wind may be calm low but up 20 or 30 feet it can change direction or have gust or turbulence, and that brought me down every time.
