Default RE: Does

Mr Cox, indeed, I tested w/o wind as said to avoid the effect of windshear (decreasing wind velocities near the surface) Normally models (and all 1/1) aircraft suffer from this phenomenon every landing (unless landing downwind....) and any pilot, model or fullsize will compensate for the increased rate-of-descent automatically without thinking.
