Years ago someone reckoned on another forum the max demonstrated cross wind limit was set on the day of the FAA-observed flight test so could only be as much as the wind was blowing on the day - doh!
It may also be pedantic but the 152 does not have a crosswind LIMIT it has a demonstarted crosswird component NOT a LIMIT. And my POH says 17 KNOTS..... DEMONSTRATED.
