moodier,
Our field doesn't allow you the option of landing into the wind. If there's a cross wind, you're stuck with it. Field is only about 100 feet wide and the wind usually blows from about 45 - 90 degrees to the runway.

Learning to use that rudder will also help prevent ground loops.

Becoming a real pro with rudder MIGHT help prevent ground loops with the Citabria. Truthfully, I'm used to using rudder virtually all the time, especially taking off and landing, but my Citabria can still be a handful! They sure are squirrelly!

I've found it best to bring the throttle up slowly and keep nimble fingers on the rudder. If it gets ahead of you, forget it!
