I'm by no means an expert but as a couple of previous posters have said, its really important to keep that aileron into wind the whole time..from crossing the controls before flaring until clear of the runway. I've seen a few instances where people (myself included) have thought they are down and safe, only to encounter a gust & then things have gotten interesting and the adrenaline starts pumping. A good habit to get into is keeping the aileron into wind whenever on the ground. Just my 2 cents..the rest will become second nature and is not as scary as it sounds when you're a newbie! Have fun P
