When I learnt to fly, on much smaller things, of course, we was taught to maintain the normal approach , wings level etc, and just fly a bit into the x-wind. FWIW.

sorry to continue off topic, but I have used both techniques on big jets (L1011, 757, 767 and Trident) and I found the perfectly judged kick off drift in the flare far more difficult. Try the cross-control landing some time, on a suitable aeroplane.
On models in a cross-wind I usually use the technique seen on that video - Throw it at the ground and trust to strong U/C design.
