Just about everybody with any stick time has flown in winds high enough to stop their model in one spot over the runway. I've done it in a full sized Cessna 152 while under the hood. My instructor was having me hold a heading and altitude while slowing the airplane down to just a few mph over stall speed which would be about 50 mph. I didn't know what he was up to until he had me remove the hood and look down at the airplanes shadow. It was stopped near a road. The real excitement of that flight was landing at an away airport and getting off the runway and tied down. I got out of the airplane to hold the upwind strut so we could turn off to taxi to the tie down area. Once there, I had to hold the brakes and keep the engine running while he tied down the plane. On returning to our local airport he showed me just how far the ailerons will really go (the yoke was upside down) to correct for cross winds. After that lesson, I always tried to have my flights on days with more cross winds because a wind down the runway is just too easy.
