Default RE: Flying Technique Question

I agree with the "use the method that works best for you" statement. I recall when I started out (about 7 years ago) having difficulty with the "push the stick to the low wing" technique on landing approaches, because once the plane crossed in front of me I had to switch over on the aileron controls. It drove me nuts for a while. I changed to the "look over the shoulder" technique for landings and that worked better. I still use the over the shoulder deal on occasion when landing in a cross wind, where I'm using opposite rudder and aileron. I probably don't have to but it just feels right
