was trained to fly without rudder (except for ground control) and learned the
reverse controls concept when flying toward me and I pretty much think that
way when flying. I have learned to use a little rudder to be able to
land in crosswinds, but it just seems to foreign to me. As I start down
the path of learning to fly pattern, I find the concept of learning to fly a
straight path in a cross wind while performing maneuvers to be daunting.

to disagree on this one. I now teach guys for a living how to fly.
We end up teaching them UAV’s, but they learn on .60 size trainers.
These guys have no background in R/C and I think if you don’t let them be
affected by the wind, then they wont be. Our normal flying days here in
SW texas are 10-15mph, and these guys are soloing in 5 days flying only in the
afternoons. Usually straight in our face, or straight from our backs. I
don’t think I’ve had a day yet that we didn’t have a significant crosswind.
I have found here, that if you don’t let the guys become psychologically
affected by the wind and such, then it isn’t near as big a factor.
Another tip we have found and it is true, is that we do not mention ANYTHING
about the controls being different when coming at them. I’ve heard
people say “the controls reverse when coming at you”, well, that’s not
actually true, it only appears that way. By not telling them that, it
takes that thought process out of their heads and they don’t fight it.
Teach in the wind, and they’ll be able to fly in the
wind.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
