I was launching a slope ship on a catapult to the south. There was a W or WSW wind. Before release I bank hard to the left and yanked up elevator. Then it seemed to pick up speed while also being in a climb to the East. The launch resulted in good height. Is this DS or just turning against wind?

So the real defintion has no stricr guidelines of where it has to be donw as long as your robbing energy fromr the air. - This tranfers it to the glider.
