have you ever flown a plane of an arcraft carrier in these conditions?
if you have a long private road near you try it using a car !
you will find the plane will fly as normal even if the wind exceeds its flying speed
if you launched a slowstick in a 20 mph wind from the back of a car driving at 15 mph downwind it would fly as normal relative to your position in the moving car !
to anyone standing watching it would appear the plane was flying backwards !
the plane has a contant inertia regardless of Upwind/Downwind
as i stated in my first post it Appears relative to your ground/stationary position that the plane looses effective control
its just an optical illusion
what most people see is.. as i stated the effect of turbulance and gusts that Are the enemy of R/c
flying
ok.. think of it this way
if it takes a swimmer 100 seconds to swim 100 yards from one end of a swimming to the other
how long would it take for a swimmer to swim 100 yards across a fast flowing river?
Across means from one side to the other Not DIRECTLY across
i know he will arrive a long way down stream but he will still take 100 seconds
if you were on a raft floating down stream watching him it would appear he swam directly across
