Hi Guys

On my 48" span 109 with landing gear in a scale position, the landings are impacted quite a bit by the wind. In the event there is a slight cross wind the model wants to lift a wing, so I have learned to use aileron, rudder and a bit of body english when landing. And keeping it straight as until it settles in. As well as keeping an eye on the wind sock.

It all comes down to practice and learning the models characteristics . From take offs to dead stick slope soaring the model in safely.
