[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 1332422, member: 57044"] As any paraglider or hang glider pilot knows only too well, if you try and take off on a slope with the wind at your back you will be flying into what pilots call 'rotor', which is simply put the turbulence that exists on the downwind side of an obstacle (the hill behind you). The turbulence is erratic and would be impossible to predict. This would cause exactly the sort of variances in POI described and would be almost impossible to correct for. [/QUOTE]
