In a recent crosswind landing 25G35 at 40deg to runway (grass) in a 600kg taildragger I cannot recall whether I used crab or wing down, & I challenge anyone to say it was definitely one or the other, the thing was bouncing up & down so much I actually used the "stick & rudder" method.Am I missing something in the precision control department? Some posts on here make it sound as though a crosswind landing should be performed as if the a/c is on rails.
