Now to really stir the pot a little,......... Here is the scenario. Two gliders are flying at less then 1000'agl. One makes a downwind turn and the other makes a turn into the wind. Upon turning, the pilots stall both aircraft,... if a steep wind gradient exists, the recovery on the downwind would happen with less altitude lost then the aircraft that was flying into the direction of the prevailing wind.
Make yer mind up. You're saying the same as I am there....
