Orma The aircraft doesn't know it's in a crosswind because it is all relative once the wheels leave the ground. You should have your heading offset once airborne to maintain the track over the ground but the ball should always remain in the centre, ie., no additional rudder is needed.

When I fly into or away from the wind, my feet can sit on the floor. If I am flying with a cross wind, I trim the rudder to relieve the pressure on my foot. It is the same with any plane that I have flown in a crosswind. Perhaps I am missing something.
