Oh I forgot that my grandpa has 'flown backwards' on occasion. Basically since it is able to fly at such extremely slow airspeeds all he needed was a headwind of just more than what it requires to take off and even though the airplane is moving forward relative to the surrounding air, it is still moving backwards relative to the ground. Given the right headwind I have had cars going faster than me on the ground because the winds are so strong at altitude (4-7,000' while practicing maneuvers).
