My 4* does not like cross winds, or I should say I don't like cross winds with my 4*. Man does this big bugger crab in the wind When I took off winds were right out of the west, no problem! When it was time to land, they switch to out of the north, and pushed the plane south as I was trying to land. After 4-5 go arounds I finally found the spot to start from so it landed on the runway and not into the pile of plane parts along the side. Made for some exciting times. Lets just say that the plane was traveling towards the runway at a 45* angle. Yeah she flies sideways.

Oh forgot to mention, took full rudder to keep it this way too, working rudder and ailerons to bring it in level to land made for real exciting times.
