Sure Goldenrivet, there will be slipping eventually when you lift off. But that is not what all the people on Facebook are oooh-ing and aaaah-ing about! In this topic there is even talk of 'power sliding'. No such things going on on ANY takeoff in max crosswind conditions that I have flown. Even in the worst crosswinds the plane will generally follow where the nose is pointed. I have never done a crabbed takeoff roll
