You need to be .......so proficient with the rudder that it is as instinctive as using the elevator. The only way to get there is by using the rudder as you "shoot approaches" at a safe elevation. With a cross wind approach the model can be given a "blip" of rudder at the last moment before touch down to get it on the straight and narrow path. The worst thing is to have the wind grab the upwind wing panel and roll the plane over as you are making your final approach. For this reason it is good practice to have the model banked with the upwind wing panel low.
This sounds like a bunch of twisted and convoluted advice, but that is what piloting in bad weather is all about...being able to compensate for bad air. It is amazing to watch the jumbo jets on Youtube doing the bad weather landings.
