My miserable opinion after just 250hous is that any aircraft is crabbing to some extent wherever it is going, except directly into or out of any wind. I've never flown big stuff but I can't see that size makes all that much difference apart from response time? As for this transition thing I tend to try to "square it up" as late as possible, just as the wheels start to bend the grass is best, but certainly nowhere near 300feet. Then it seems it is aileron down rather than wing down cos the wheels are on the ground.Nice to see Chuck back. Your sort of experience is in short supply.
