<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK, I've got another question about head
winds.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When performing a stall turn I know it's necessary
to keep the nose of the plane into the wind on the upline so the wind does not
push the plane backwards, but what's the best way to execute the actual stall
turn itself? When I tried to do the stall pivot with the nose still pointing
into the wind it looked terrible and was VERY difficult to get it to pivot
straight to the side. Obviously with the nose into the wind the rudder will not
make the plane fall perfectly to the side but will also cause it to rotate.
Because of this I tried backing off the of the wind correction and pulling the
nose straight up right before performing the stall rotation, but when I did this
the plane would drift backwards.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to hear how others handle this situation
to score high on stall turns in a heavy head wind.</FONT></DIV>

:-)</FONT></DIV>
