Taxying a Tiger Moth in strongish winds
I recently found a well thumbed edition of the RAF book on Elementary Flying Training -1943- Air Publication 1979A.
The chapter on taxying states: "when the wind is fairly strong and the aircraft is taxying down-wind, move the stick to the left for a left turn and if taxying into wind move the stick to the right for a left turn."
It assumes rudder is also used (I think). Why the difference in stick movement depending on wind direction? And what controls should be used if taxying a Moth in a quartering tailwind or quartering headwind? And why? One presumes that a test pilot recommended this advice when the Tiger Moth was first flown?
