From my meteorology background, the winds aloft (1000 feet and above) are typically 30 degrees clockwise compared to the surface winds, in the Northern Hemisphere. This is due to the Coriolis force and the earth's surface friction. You can see this on a day where there are multiple cloud layers. The lower clouds moving in one direction, and the ones above them in a different direction. At 400', they wouldn't be at full deflection, but a portion of the 30 degrees depending on the local surroundings. Something to keep in mind.
I like to take her up to 400' and enter Atti mode. Let her drift about 10 seconds will give you a really good indication of direction and speeds aloft.
Love the distances you guys are going. I'm a distance junky myself, but only stand at 8025' so far. I need an unobstructed area to test more, but the weather is miserable in Upstate NY now. 15-20 degrees F, and we just got 2 feet of snow in the last three days.
