Default RE: Diving on downwind?

Once again as Gollywock said, it doesn't matter. If it will fly and climb upwind, it will fly and climb downwind.

Now is this wind 30mph? A quick turn from upwind, to downwind in high wind can cause a loss of airspeed, resulting in a loss of altitude, regardless of wingloading, or power.
