Hi Netters. The aercoupe that I have a lot of time on, did not have crosswind landing gear. As a matter of fact it was a 2 control system. The rudder and the ailerons were co-ordinately coupled. Sorry no wing low landings . While flying in the winter at Neepawa Manitoba on a windy day (30 to 35 mph 45 degree cross wind) I had a problem getting down. Since it was a lonely airport the solution was simple. The wind was from the left. I approached the threshold, as slowly as possible direct into the wind. Airspeed approximately 45 + mph. dropped it over the snow back and onto the tarmac and hit the brakes. I was almost stopped by the time I got near the snow bank on the left side of the runway. Then it was just a matter of turning right and taxiing forward. Actually touchdown was about 45-30=15 mph. On a 100 +- wide runway that was no problem.A KR could have done the same thing just as easily. I grant you that this is not the nice procedure if other aircraft are in the circuit, but some time it may be necessary.
