Crosswind landing control..

Be careful with the term "Beech". A short filed landing with a Bo is,
plant the mains on, let the nose down, get on the brakes and *haul*
back on the yoke. That actually puts pressure on the mains. The
flaps stay at full.
I was taught to do the same with a Sundowner. It works great!
If I land on airspeed, the yoke is nearly full back as I roll out nose
up, on the mains. Holding it there keeps the plane nicely planted,
keeps the nose gear light, and quickly bleeds speed. In gusty
conditions, the nose may pop back up, but it won't fly.
For the ultra-shortest no-brainer stop, I'll keep the yoke back and drop
th flap handle.
The tuition I paid to learn these techniques was a set of tires. G
