Jodels, I am informed, have an undercarriage that can't take much of a side load and crabbing is riskier than wind-down

Not wanting to be rude or personal but what has the side loading of a model got to do with the crab approach ?
Unless you are saying that the pilot does not have the skills to land straight off a crab which would side load the aircraft.
In that case its a sad reflection of basic pilot skills not the aircraft.
are we churning out aircraft drivers rather than pilots nowadays ?
