What I don't understand is why my plane does better spins in windy conditions. Visually, a stall in the wind just seem to be a deeper stall than a stall with no wind.
The plane IS stalling better...the groundspeed has decreased because of the headwind, but the airspeed has increased causing better airflow over the controls and a much better break because you have more pitch authority due to the increased airflow over the elevator...this gives you a higher angle of attack at stall break, thus the prettier 'cleaner' break. I notice the difference to...my 'perspective' has nothing to do with what I feel through the sticks...only what I see. I do see the difference in perspective, but what I can feel is more important in stalled manuevers.
