At the other end of the flight...
I am always frightened by colleagues who, at Vr, remove all crosswind inputs. Luckily enough, none have come to grief yet but it's painful feeling the aircraft begin to roll over about the downwind main wheel.
I've tried to explain how the inputs required to keep the aircraft straight down the runway are the same as the inputs required to keep it straight until the whole aircraft is completely airbourne. Once airbourne the controls can be returned to balanced flight and eureka! the aircraft has just applied exactly the wind correction angle it needs to track straight along the centreline.
