Thanks for clarifying. Sometimes I work so hard at typing it overwhelms my other cognitive powers and I don't express myself as clearly as I should. Land and take off into the wind. Go downwind, turn around just before you hit the bank, point it upwind, and take off. Fly to a downwind point, turn back toward yourself, and land some safe distance from your feet.

I DO continue to be amazed at how many RCers have no concept of which way the wind is blowing. I used to fly with a guy who could figure out a way to land or take off crosswind even if it was calm. I have even carried a little bottle of bubble liquid to the field with me at times. "Watch the bubbles. When you're flying thru them, you're coming in from the right direction"
