I fly a taildragger and get seriously jealous of the trike pilots that come in on a crosswind without a care in the world about touching down with a bit of drift or crab knowing for the most part the CG position will swing then round straight, whereas I'm on the rudders peddling 10 to the penny deathly afraid of any crab or drift and the potential humiliation of a ground loop. It's like you have to "earn" a proper landing every damn time, crosswind or not. Who says fear is not a good motivator ?
