Chillywilly, If you are getting the plane up into the clouds, you know how to control it. Make those turns slowly, and the plane will not know it is going down wind, but will pick up ground speed going downwind. REMEMBER the plane is flying in air passing over the, wings, regardless of the direction of the wind in relation to the ground. The plane always flys in air comming at the front of the plane. A quick turn will have the plane going in relation to the ground, but not in relation to the air it is trying to fly through. WHAT KIND of model is it?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
