I'm surprised that no one jumped on you for this already.

The plane is NOT blown sideways since it's already drifting with the wind such that it only sees a direct on headwind at all times. The only times it'll see any side force is when the rudder is moved or for a moment when it moves into a volume of air where the velocity or direction or both is dffernet from the last volume (turbulence don'cha know). At that point it'll see a small side wind until the model is once again in direct headwind equilibrium.

IE: a dandelion seed drifing with the wind sees NO apparent wind force other than from below since it is always falling even if it IS a very slow fall.
