And to add to what RcKen has said,

not learning the proper way and landing in a crosswind by adjusting the base and downwind legs may end up you facing directly at the pits and/or other pilots and that could be really bad. A crab can do this as well but at least you are in better control in a crab.

I will always argue that the slip is the best way and most people will say that it's to advanced for a new pilot. Not really true if you are learning to use the rudder and you have probably sideslipped and did not even realize it.

For those of you with AeroFly Pro deluxe. I spent some time today recording a video showing how a sideslip works and looks using the Funtana40 that can be downloaded but I will record one with one of the stock planes as well. If you want it PM me and I'll put it into a spot that you can download it.

I do have access to G2 so I could do a video in there if you would like. In either case PM me and tell me if you have G2 or AeroFly Pro if you want it
