Default RE: High wind technique

Allright I made another video demonstrating the forward slip method mentioned by cfircav8r and myself earlier in the thread.

This is the first video I made using the most commn method of crabing almost to the runway then using rudder at the last second to correct:

Here is the second one showing a side slip to landing. You see I straightened out the airplane much ealier and flew it in with a wing low attitude. It is much more difficult but it sure looks cool!!

And this one I made just for fun. This is a technique I invented myself and took a few tries to get right!! This is still with a 15 knot crosswind as in the other videos.
