Re: 701's shuttle cock into the wind?

      I have found that landing in various winds is no problem, but after landing there
      is a definite tendency to weathervane.
      
      I did a forced landing in a cottonfield several years ago in a 45 knot wind (blocked
      fuel filter). The farmer came out, and offered to tow it to the barn - the
      road being exactly across the wind.. We hung two batteries on the prop to hold
      the  nosewheel on, had a farmworker hanging under the upwind wing, and a farmworker
      upwind on a rope tied to the tail,  two of us in the seats, and were
      being towed behind a truck. Twice in a quarter mile, it got away from us, weathercocking
      into the wind.
      
      What I learned was to not fly  a 701 in a 45 knot wind.............Fred
