Not true. Ask anyone around here how far I go downwind. One of the planes was flown out of a very tall tree (I had to push it out of the tree backwards, Fritz Bien performed the lomcevak and recovery) just a few weeks ago, and last year it landed maybe 1/2 mile downwind. I calibrated my range perception on another with a nice soft bush just a couple of weeks ago. Then there's the hand launch I put in a tree last year because when I tried to fly behind it I didn't go back far enough. Many other such stories.
