RE: Wind to your back Landings.
One more thing. I don't know how much you use the rudder but some people don't seem to use it much until landing. Maybe try getting a three channel plane and put the rudder on the left stick where it belongs and fly the crap out of it until your using the rudder ALL of the time. Thats why I start people on a 3 channel with the rudder on the left stick. I want them to understand the rudder is not an option it is a necessity, especially on landing.-BW
