and what is the published max demonstrated crosswind ??
less than 20knts in my guess..



It also depends on how you're loaded. As the CG moves back
the rudder is working off a shorter arm in trying to pivot the
airplane straight. With a more forward CG it's effectiveness
will stay to a lower airspeed. The real bottom line is whether
or not you can keep the nose straight with the amount of
aileron needed to stay over the centerline.

The max demonstrated number is a good guideline for your
average pilot. For those that fly in areas of the country with
high winds a lot of the time they get a little more skilled at
handling the xw.
