Downwind turn / upwind turn!
Just want to say, that during the many hours I have been flying gliders I have never felt anything different turning upwind or downwind!
(Gliders - you know them when you see them - absurdly long winged things with ridiculous adverse yaw problems, which spend most of their time circling a few knots above stalling).
Went to flying models when I lost my medical to some kidney problem, and the models haven't heard about downwind turn problems either, not even free flight models, which also fly very close to stall.
