Sigh, I have done a few crunchers myself. Luckily nothing above the limits as borne out by the QAR readings. Well yelena, take heart as you will improve with time. Like bakutteh said, it's pretty hard to get the decrab during flare technique right. I have overdone it a couple of times ending up with the nose pointing a tad to the downwind side with an awful sensation upon touchdown. I think bakutteh suggestion to follow the autopilot technique of decrabbing early and then sideslip to touchdown works well. I have never had a crosswind exceeding 25 kts, so I am not sure whether this technique work well or not in this case.
