As I have stated before, we are talking about MODEL airplanes here right? If you read back I have not advised anyone how to fly their full scale airplane. Reason for that is I am not a full scale pilot and recognise the differences between the two and just feel that I am not qualified to do so based on those differences. So as far as models go and to be specific someone who flys IMAC and pattern we would NEVER want to fly around with one wing low to compensate for wind drift. This would be giving up 2 points per manuver for not beginning and ending each manuver with wings level. The resolve is to use rudder only to compensate for cross wind drift during the sequence. It only makes sense that we would carry over this practice for landings as well. I'm sure there are other ways or more approved ways of doing the same thing in full scale practice as you have passenger comfort and aircraft limitations to deal with. My biggest gripe with this whole thing is full scale pilots telling model pilots how to fly their airplanes applying full scale theory. IMO that would seriously handicap our models performance. What would happen if I approached you guys 25 years ago and claimed I could hover an airplane by it's prop like a helicopter? What if I showed up at the field with an airplane built a lightly as some of the 3D arfs are today? I'm thinking that neither would be readily accepted. Yet here we are.
