X wind in aTwotter:
If taught correctly is not an issue.
If left hand Aileron held down I use and teach two fingers (inside and middle) straddle the tiller, with the left wrist on top of the low (LH) horn.
If right hand Aileron held down I use and teach same two fingers straddle the tiller, and the LH horn on top of the wrist.
One of the biggest problems I have come across in a decent cross wind is people release the weight off the nose wheel too early, and it can have a tendency to weather cock very significantly:
The Twin Otter if handled correctly, will handle just about damn near all the X wind you can throw at it.
