REFLECTOR: Crosswind

[John Abraham]

Kevin,

The aircraft as soon as the nose weight starts to come off will want to turn
into the wind unless you put in rudder and aileron to hold centerline,
normally thought just let it turn and it will fly a lot more stable in gusty
conditions if you hold the wings parallel to the ground.

Definitely into the wind, but not that noticeable below 10 kn.
