Think about it to landing in a cross wind condition you have to take off in a cross wind condition. So why put your self in that condition. Always another day. What next how to land in ran or snow condition
.
Depends on what level of model flying you are doing. Fair weather, calm day flying? Fine to wait another day if the winds are not favorable to the runway surface direction you are attempting to fly from. However, anything more than park flying and especially at the competition level, more often then not, the wind is not in alignment with the runway in use, therefore, the pilot must be proficient and comfortable with the use of all flight controls on the aircraft being flown.
Indeed. Instead of "What next how to land in ran or snow condition", I'd ask "What next - will you e.g. advocate only flying when the wind is left to right, because you can only turn in one direction ?".
