Don't know about you guys but my GAinstructor would have kicked my butt if I let the airspeed or altitude bleed off in a turn.[img][/img]

So maybe this is all a myth...lol

Wind or no wind...planes lose airspeed in turns unless power is added. Not relevant in this thread.

lighten up and enjoy this thread, I think it has been fun and educational. Yes it is relevant,, you just cleared up the drag
point. If you add power to counter turn drag, then reduce coming out, all you have left is the wind direction change.
I can't wait to get out and play in the PPC. (next spring).
