The wing low method is used on landing only to keep the nose pointed down the runway and not drift off. This allows you to land without putting a side load on the gear as you touch down. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> In flight it is bank to a heading that gives you the desired ground track then roll level to maintain that heading.</span> In flight rudder is used to keep the nose pointed into the relative wind or for aerobatic manuevers.
What I don't get about this is that the outside influence ( Crosswind ) is still present and using this method will require several adjustments. Because in a full scale airplane you really have no way of gauging the direction or velocity the cross wind it would appear to me you are simply making compass corrections over a long distance. Very different to what we feel and see as model pilots.

Again because it is nearly impossible for a full scale pilot to judge his course based on ground visual feedback this works but standing on the ground flying a model we have great visual feedback on positioning. I see some of your points on the full scale side however I still see where their application to model flight is lacking.
