Here's a wind story.....I lost my Ultra RC Giles (12 lb. aerobat) on a windy day when the engine quit....normally that's no problem but while I was deciding which way to turn the wind blew the plane out over the trees (very lightly loaded wing) and that was that.....could not make it back.

My normal instinct is to NOT bring the nose down on a deadstick but that's what I needed to do in that situation.

Anyway remember that in windy conditions deadstick situations need to be handled with that wind force in mind. And it's usually better to land under control in the tall grass than out of control on the runway. i.e., you'll be better off if the nose of the plane is pointing into that strong wind on landing.
