Hello net
The net sure is quite today.  Since there is not much traffic, I'll relate my 
experience with crosswind today.  
At KPTK, my local airport, the winds were 340 degrees at 10kts.  The runway is 
270, or 70 degrees across the wind.  This provided for an excellent practice, 
and is close to the KR limit.  To stay on the centerline required nearly full 
right rudder and my right aileron was placed full up.  As the aircraft lifted 
off the runway, I was able to release some of the rudder and aileron.  The 
aircraft climbed into the wind for the crosswind leg and went up from 1400MSL 
to 1800 in about 15 seconds.  I only went around once due to increasing wind 
speed.  Landing was uneventful.  I used a higher speed and floated for a while 
for a wheeled landing.
