Romeo Tango Alpha.. In the lighter stuff, using that technique, how many time have you used that method (in a stuff crosswind) and landed on the centerline without the wheel saying "ggggaaarrrrggghhhh forwards not sidewards!!!... wheels roll FORWARD!"1 haha (now before anyone has a #$%^ about that one its just taking the jist out of him alright ! ) FFFFFAAAAAAARRRR
About 8 times out of 10 it's correct. Like I said, it's a matter of personal choice, practice, and experience. I have been doing that from when I was a sprog pilot - my instructor was ex-KLM pilot, and that's the way he taught it. Easy!

Now, BOTH ways are perfectly legitimate crosswind techniques. Like I said, personal choice, and wing low is NOT the technique I use.
