Default RE: Using the rudder - practice drills?

You can intentionally try to land in a cross-wind (once you are comfortable) and use the rudder to crab your way in..
I had a crash course on cross wind landings during the last fun fly (pun intended ). I think crosswind landings would be good practice for most anyone; ya never know when you'll need to know how to do them! Nothing like seeing the airplane land 45 degrees against the centre line of the runway while holding full right rudder! [X(]
