Default RE: Downwind turn Myth

I was referring to my post.

With my first trainer that would be fun, but Idon't think I'll be flying in a wind that would make it possible with the planes Ihave now.

The only thing that would be a legitimate visualization woud be a ground speed of zero as the plane goes straight up or down.

Not in all cases.
The wind=takeoff speed takeoffs have zero ground roll.
Fun to do.
Watch that first turn, though!
