That is called a crab and is the easiest way to do that. The only thing I disagree with in the above statement is bringing it out of the crab at 6 feet, it should be more like 6 inches to a foot.

Another way is to sideslip. To do that drop the wing that is facing into the wind and counteract the turn with only enough rudder to stop the turn. This will cause 2 things. The plane will track straight over the ground and it will also want to lose altitude quickly to which you can counteract that with power and elevator.

It's a difficult manuver as you are using all of the planes surfaces plus power to maintain the track but once mastered looks really good and is a great way to lose altitude quickly

At about 6 inches to a foot you release the rudder and ailerons and maintain the glide angle with power and elevator all the way to touchdown
