Tsk, tsk, Stik. Don't know what you're talking about - the crosswind never gave me any problems at the weekend (except in the competition box ahem but the less said about that the better)
.
Preferred method in the Zlin 526 was to wheel it on with one wing low which worked a treat. The last Pitts I flew had spades so dipping a wing was a bit iffy and it had to be crabbed and lined up in the hold-off. Never flew it in a strong crosswind though and didn't envy you on Friday. In the mighty Firefly however you can laugh in the face of the spindly killer fish and tweak the nose of a crosswind since 25 kts limit is enough for even the most inept of us

To go back to the original thread, at some airfields the surface wind is measured about 30' above the ground and depending on the time of day and other local conditions there can often be a marked dropping off of the wind in that last 30'. Maybe that was it. Wasn't from the right by any chance?
