[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2006334, member: 3230"] This is absolutely my thoughts as soon as I read this thread. The problem with a head or tail wind is that if it varies much in terms of direction, it is extremely tricky. A wind at 11 o'clock is a half wind hold (actually 54%), as is a 1 o'clock wind, but in the opposite direction - so you need to really watch the direction. Contrast that to a side wind that varies the same except from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock - that wind is a 91% full value at 8 and 10 and a 100 percent at 9 - the direction is secondary to the magnitude. Give me a wind from left or right any day over a head or tail wind. [/QUOTE]
