framer....
framer's response is essentially what the Airbus FCTM says....only, his is simpler and easier to understand. It is correct.
We should all be required to fly (to do some crosswind training in) a tail dragger. This will dispel myths....
We should use only enough roll control input to maintain wings level.
We should use appropriate rudder to keep the nose straight down the
runway until after liftoff.
Side loads on the main gear can be damaging. Airbus says more than five degrees could possibly damage the gear.
Airbus has several publications that support what is stated above.
Fly safe,
