Why is the model heli in the train or the bug in the aircraft any different to a real heli that is well OGE doing a constant 60 degree bank turn (and hence spiralling down wind when looked at relative to the ground) ? None of them are 'feeling' the ground in any different way as they are all moving in an orderly manner relative to the airmass.
