I'm using f one wings, very happy with them, but having difficulty controlling the 3.5 in gusty 20-25 knot conditions. I am using strike 3s, but wondering if other brands small wings are more stable?

I have a 2m and 3m strike 3. The 2m has been a gem but I must admit, the 3m, is not at all what I had hoped and is honestly the worst 3m wing I've ever owned. Very twitchy and unstable with a super narrow wind range. So if it's anything like your 3.5 then I feel your pain.

Better than the Strike v3 for me has been:

Cloud IX v2 3.5m (I rode this wing almost every day this summer)
Ocean Rodeo Aluula Glide 2.5m and 3m (have about 10 sessions on these and absolutely love them.)
Duotone Slick 2.5m and 3.5m (These were the original wings I had, they must have carbon boom upgrade but I remember them as being nice wings to fly, but plagued by warranty issues)

Strike V3s improve with 1-2 psi less in LE and up to 1psi less in strut
