Thumbs up

An interesting idea. There were one or two mod aircraft (ahem, I didn't say that?) that would do this in 4.09, but 4.10 gives much more precise control of conditions.

Setting up for a crosswind landing is fun too, though you shouldn't overdo it - a little trigonometry will show why landing at 100 mph with a 40 mph crosswind is rather awkward. Hitting the runway at a 20° + angle sideways tends to remove the undercarriage more often than not, even if you actually reach the threshhold, rather than drifting off sideways.
