Following what you said, I use the sim and tried with 12 miles wind directly across the runway (no turbulence added intentionally). I noticed the plane acts eratically, dropping one wing or another and seems to do the crabbing by itself. I only use ailerons. I use 3 notches above the idle on the throttle. I am able to land but I noticed this way that the real challenge is the thottle. I have to add or reduce power and when I do a good job at the throttle, using only the ailerons I am able to do a decent landing. </p>

What I find incredible is that so many RC modelers who are probably very good at the craft can use different techniques and all succeed to land perfectly their own way. I have to say I am so thankful to all for their input. This place is such a great resource for beginners like me.

Thanks
