learn fly over years Ive come up some special techniques getting out following situations Crosswind Taxiing Most time re able taxi directly windyou have taxi crosswind times have seen happen Youre trying taxi crosswind wing starts dip prop chews up ground sometimes airplane flips over no fun can cause damageespecially flying pavement What actually happens crosswind gets under wing pointed upwind direction lifts up opposite wing dips prop digs ground Use opposite aileron help keep wing level can also use rudder turning direction low wing work airplane must moving Centrifugal force will push airplane opposite direction Caution taildragger setup excessive rudder can cause ground loop Crosswind Takeoffs time time Im asked does wing dip try take off crosswind As models ground speed increases wing starts carry more aircrafts weight same time less weight landing gear model loses its ground stability happens wind lifts upwind wing half During crosswind takeoffs same technique using opposite aileron used crosswind taxiing will help keep pride joy rolling over works tricycle taildragger landing gear course best way stop avoid situation completely taking off directly wind need take off crosswind less time spend ground better start right off bringing engine up 1/2 power keep takeoff run short possible Heres what Lets say wind blowing right left left wing starts drop use some right aileron Use care overcontrol roll airplane over wing may also tend rock bit airplane different will require less aileron input timing release aileron input will also vary model another Flameout
