Yup. You're onto it.
If the machine weather cocks when in balance, it is too windy to be in the mountains imo.
A 20+ knt S easterly or Northerly was unpleasant to fly in when up some major South Westland valleys in a 22 or 44.
We never hunted in anything like that as the animals were not about either.
