Cool

The above remarks about crosswind takeoffs are strictly accurate, but from a practical point of view there can be problems. Some types have very benign handling qualities when crosswind, others can be a real handful (or foot-full!) If operating at high weights, the ensuing pedal 'dancing' as you transition while applying full power, can lead to inadvertant overtorqueing.
