A few weeks ago I landed in a 45deg crosswind, turned into wind 180deg & wasn't quite quick enough getting the stick forward. Tail came up to about level, slammed the stick forward & closed throttle & caught it in time, but it does take conscious think which way to push things in a hurry. It is easy to be smug arsed & make suggestions but hard & fast "methods" don't always work. I once spun it round a bit quick in no wind & tail came up, closed the throttle and back stick feet off brakes worked that time. Difficult to lay down "rules".
