I have always been a fan of the Convair Delta Dart.  This model was designed to be equally at home indoors (hi alpha and slow) or outside performing like a jet.  It is extremely maneuverable with the rudder surprisingly effective.  I have flown the F-106 in windy conditions (15+) and she does really well.  The wind definitely bothers the bird but you have such good control I can pull it off where my other models stay on the ground in those conditions.  You will need a radio that has Delta Mixing (sometimes called elevon mixing) for the elevons. You need to be intermediate skills to fly, she is demanding and needs a good pilot, fairly easy to build with some previous experience.
