In the R22 I would rather have a right crosswind, being that the vertical stabilizer is so small, and tail rotor authority is high.

The JetRanger however, has a a giant vertical stabilizer which eats up a ton of torque in a right crosswind situation, in addition to low tail rotor authority to begin with, so I would rather have a left crosswind.

just my 2 cents
