For clarity, my post was talking about high inertia, low airspeed situations namely pulling off a crop and trying to turn air speed into height while at the same time trying to coax the light bar into cooperating. My ability might be a factor more so than anything else but I swear I can put the stick in a different place for my first few into wind turns than I can for a down wind turn without the aircraft telling me it's not happy. Would be interested to hear about others experiences with buffet or wing drop for into wind v down wind particularly in a 502.

I learnt my lesson about respecting the wind at low level the hard way but got away with my life, unfortunately the mallard occupants didn't. Stay safe all.
