Default RE: Cub

If you want to look like a real pro...put your aileron stick into the prevailing wind (if a cross-wind component exists). Slowly ease off the aileron stick the same as the elevator. What this does in full-scale is, it keeps the wings level as the cross-wind tries to lift the wing on the wind side as airspeed builds thus stopping any ground loop or flip-over. The same applies to RC only to a lesser extent, hence why RC guys don't use it often unless they have a big bird and have learned the hard way [X(]

I know in full-scale, if you do not use this method, the FAA check-ride pilot will fail you immediately and take the controls and scold you AND your instructor for improper procedures.
