Think about it to landing in a cross wind condition you have to take off in a cross wind condition. So why put your self in that condition. Always another day. What next how to land in rain or snow condition
.
It is best if you don't go to fly at Florida Jets then, there is always a strong cross-wind there.
Watching the jets at Lakeland, I noticed that half of them, maybe two thirds, lurch off downwind immediately after lift-off and have to be roughly hauled back again as that is usually towards the pits. Most modellers seem to have a poor cross-wind takeoff technique.
What we were taught full size was, at the start of the take off run, to apply aileron into the crosswind and steer down the runway centreline on rudder. On lift-off you still have a little into-wind aileron applied which prevents the common "lift and roll downwind" problem (caused by X-wind on a swept or dihedral wing).
In the couple of seconds after lift-off you centre the rudder (and leave it there the rest of the flight) and fly on aileron. The cross-wind takeoff technique works well on models too.
