For interest look up the "hairy rope trick" of long lining with a fixed wing.
It used to be done with fixed wings (Tiger Moth) so is pre-interweb days so may be difficult to find information.
Basically pay out a long "hairy" line and enter a turn and the end can be controlled via bank angle to place it on the ground.
There are stories of a certain chap long line / bucketing with a Cresco ag plane in NZ if you can believe that.
Was used in the 1950's - more information
here and relevant to the issue for information purposes.
