Yep, saw that with my aileron glider. There was some yaw but it was definetly more roll than yaw. It was like the air under that wing just dissapearred.
That sounds too familiar........
How many times do we hear "
The wind got under one wing and flipped it over" at the flying field after a plane crashed at the flying field while attempting to land? It happens mostly on windy days and the pilot thinks he has more airspeed (sees ground speed) on his downwind leg and then attempts to turn into the wind to land with the plane too slow. Lower wind velocity near the ground helps too I would imagine.
