Having the right plane is definitely a help, and as wgeffon says, the lower you go the easier it is! I wouldn't recommend going low until you are comfortable with recovering in the event that the plane gets too far out of position. In this vid, you can see the wind pushing my plane down the runway. The by time I had decided to pull it past vertical to keep it stationary, I wasn't sure if I was getting close to the ditch or not so it was time to climb. Oh, this was the second day that I had started to bring the plane in pretty low. The corrections came without any thought.
