That's a knock on the Dymaxion. Bucky claimed the cross-wind twitchyness could be driven out if the driver/pilot (it was an omnidirectional transport, he considered it ground taxiing) was properly trained. IIRC the yaw was into the wind, not downwind.

Myself, I'd go to a triangular hull like the ME-262 or Evation ALICE.
