D.L. I also flew the D18 Twin beach hauling freight and felt as you did that it was the best test of how well your x-wind landing technique was doing. It works equally well in the 757/767 and all other aircraft ever built. Airplanes like to touch down with the wheels lined up with the direction the airplane is going, hopefully going straight down the runway. The right wing going up without input from the side stick with their control logic seems unlikely.
