Being an instructor myself, I had a very interesting ride with a
(talented) student when I pulled the release handle to simulate rope brake
at around 330ft/110m in strong straight side-wind (i.e. 90 degrees from
takeoff direction).

The student turned around to land downwind, which was OK. But he turned
the wrong way since he didn't turn into the wind. Since we were practising
at a very large airfield I let him continue and he corrected his position
before landing since he was well off the centerline once the turn was
finished.



I guess he was not as talented student as you thought?
