Vilas----gidday again mate, in the flare during a strong crosswind you will need to apply ( with a crosswind for the right ) LEFT rudder and then RIGHT Aileron into wind and probably have to hold those inputs in to control the Aircraft smoothly onto the ground on the upwind wheels.

So isn't that a small sideslip?

Unless you are very quick and push the rudder quickly to align the nose just before touchdown and don't need any wing down you MUST have to apply opposite control input at the same time....

Sideslip.....

Anyway mate it works for me.

I assume that's what you do as well?
