Since R/C flyers depend on visual cues, they do suffer from the downwind
turn syndrome, where the model's groundspeed looks OK, but the airspeed when
flying (or turning) downwind, isn't adequate. I've seen more than a few
crunched R/C aircraft because of this. Remember, it is a visual cue thing,
not an aerodynamic issue...

It was the dreaded downwind turn. Too low, too slow. Google foe vids.



That's a real shame. Do they know what happened?
