oh believe me i see it allot too, our main club filed is 2200' x 800' of concrete, we've got people who have been flying for 50+ yrs who can't use the left stick for anything other than ground taxi and throttle adjustments (and sometimes not even those), if the wind changes direction, they'll turn and fly in the direction of the wind because the field is of such a size that they can and if they go to a location that requires you to fly with a cross wind, they don't fly or they crash trying
I'm glad my club isn't the only one with this issue. It drives me insane watching guys trying to land their 1/3 scale cubs that are crabbing into the wind by aileron rolling into the wind and touching down on one wheel. All the while the thing is now pointed at the flight line and pilot stations..[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]
