Actually, the drift over a 15-minute flight (typical) is very little,
especially if the pilot has taken the recommended precautions of putting
the bird out on the flight line to get the temps up.  He'd have a pretty
tough time flying it if he pulled it out of his air-conditioned car and
flew over a hot black runway, surely, but otherwise they are adequately
stable.
