Re: X-wind Landing Techniques
Any experienced Jabiru/3-axis ultralight pilots/FI's who can help with a question of technique, Thanks?
Whats the best x-wind technique for handling gusty crosswinds in 'low inertia' aircraft? Does it matter if it's a 'greaser'or more 'positive' touchdown?
As an inexperienced UL pilot, I've tried the slip approach and it seems to just add more drag; washing off speed even more! I've also tried to crab in and lower the into wind wing, but invariably gusts of wind at various speeds, means I have to dance on the rudder/aileron, hopefully touching down OK!
Thanks.
