I have a Dynam Hawk Sky. When I was flying it I noticed the slightest breeze sends the thing flying to the side. Is this true with all airframes? Does the air have to be dead still?

I have an EZ*, which is similar to the Hawk Sky, and I was flying it today into a 5-10 mph breeze and I found that there was no problem maintaining a straight heading into the wind. I had to add extra throttle when heading into the wind, but the fuse moved straight on and did not drift from side to side. Landing was a different story. I had to apply some right rudder (I usually use the ailerons for turning) to keep the fuse heading into the wind as there was a slight cross breeze at ground level.

Hope this helps.
