When an aircraft turns downwind the only thing which will increase is ground speed.

Ron, my stupidity knows no bounds.

Unfortunately it appears to all modellers that that is what happens. It wasn't until I was a hang glider pilot that I realised that if you ignore the ground you don't know which way the wind is blowing. If a model is trimmed to fly in circles then that is what it will do relative to the block of air it is in. If there is a wind then that air is moving and to a stationary observer the model appears to fly fly slowly upwind and faster downwind.
