I don't agree Cappio,
I've flown when the cross wind was strong enough to flip the plane by getting under a wing. You do need to use ailerons to hold the upwind wing down, just as you use elevator to hold the tail on the ground. It can also take a LOT of rudder to get off the ground, and more to land it, but it can be a lot of fun. Gets the blood pumping!

CafeenMan,
Dropping like a rock. Yep.
Had my Sportster biplane out on one of those days. Probably 20 gusting to 30, and had aborted a couple of landing attempts. I knew my fuel was getting really low and this approach looked real good. Steady 15 to 20 down the runway, plane was about 3 feet off the ground when the wind just stopped. It was like the hand of God himself slapped that thing to the ground. No substantial damage, but it ripped the gear out.

You can't BUY fun like that!
