733driver,

Someone claimed that during stall exercices in a particular light aircraft, one wing would drop if there was a crosswind. Then another poster comes in and says: There is no such thing as a crosswind inflight, as you are moving within an airmass which limits the relevance of crosswinds to take off and landing.
The only reason you can have an assymetric airflow over the wings is called *SIDE-SLIP*, not crosswind.
