Hi
What do you mean works best in cross wind condition ?

did you refer to the following :

"to get the plane into a slightly nose up attitude on final and drag it to the center of the runway with the throttle."

?
Cross wind does not slow the plane down on final. Therefore, with air brake deployed, you can bring it in with slight throttle and nose high attitude. In essence, you are decreasing the lift.
