You land in a crab and the plane will straighten out when it touches down.


How does this straightening out occur?


Your flight path is down the runway, you are crabbed into the wind.
When you touch down the plane aligns itself with the direction of travel.



Is rudder applied automatically,


No.





or
are you relyinn on the landing gear bringing the plane into line?

The gear is designed for side loads so it's not a problem.
