Ok Folks think about this a little

I Think ????
A plane taking off with the wind actually would have to take off with even faster airspeed look at the back of your model while it sets on the ground
You will find that the wing does slope down. Now look at the front you will see even stunt planes have an angle.
Have you ever heard that air is fluid? the only difference is Water reacts stronger than that of air.
When a plane takes off with the wind the wind will actually push the plane down and at the time of lift off it will push the tail down increasing the angle this creats a stall situation
This is one of the reasons taking off with the wind is a no no.
A Model plane can get away with it because many are overpowered but you will find scale fliers follow the same rules as full size fliers
