I am starting to come to the conclusion that the a/c is not stalled during landing. I have to admit though, I have had a couple of stalls where I didn't feel any buffet. Whether or not this was due to the fact that I was not performing it properly (is there a proper way? After all, a stall is something that is unwanted, and can happen if we dont pay attention). And what about the fact that the aeilerons dont produce much roll in a cross wind landing? (i.e. left rudder for direction, right aeileron for drift), they simply stop the aircraft from rolling?

Hope you can forgive my somewhat in-experienced knowledge
