"Never cross control!!!"
"Keep that ball centered!"
"Never use more than 20 degrees bank!"
"Too high on final - go around. Never slip unless its an emergency
landing."

At my school we were told "not more than 30 degrees of bank in the
pattern". I personally heard from my instructors to keep the ball
centered unless you were slipping.


We did practice slipping, it was
regarded as something you needed to know and show you could do it, but
not normal procedure.

How, pray tell, do you land in a cross wind? I think I am starting to
understand why watching people land in a cross wind is so entertaining but
hell on the airframe. Slips are one of the most usefull tools you can
develop. It's a shame you have missed that important part of your training.

I also heard a lot of "more right rudder", but that was just me...
