Default RE: physics of the downwind turn

TallPaul - that's what I was trying to say - it's the gusts that create a real problems, not the dreaded "downwind turn". Once you're able to automatically combine the wind speed and the groundspeed you observe, you don't have any issues flying in the wind. Just fly the plane !
