Default Best plane for handling cross wind?

I have to disagree with Tony F's statement that the Roo is tough in crosswind. I find it to be incredibly simple, just like landing a real airplane. Simply remove the crab with rudder (point the nose down the runway), and put the upwind wheel down first, then the other, and then the nose. No big deal. My roo has rudders on both fins, and the rudder command is more that sufficient. The idea is to remove the crab, and maintain the ground track with ailerons.
