Crosswind Technique

I'm told to post on this subject or forfeit my nom de plume.

Not much to add to what has been said , but here's a couple of points to consider.

* going from laying off drift to wing down, lead with rudder, roll in aileron.
You are now in a sideslip & note P/Pete's suggestion regarding power.
* all of the crosswind mishaps I'm aware of involved a contact of the DOWNWIND wing / outboard nacelle,because the pilot eased off aileron after touchdown.

PS Anyone aware of a x/w incident where the into wind wing/nacelle made runway contact ??
