Default Bad landings

I went up today to practice crosswind landings. The wind was about down
the
runway at my home airport so I went to Sky Manor (N40). This airport has
a
2500x50 foot runway and requires vigilence in gusty winds. I did 2
landings and 1 go around (due to the gusty wind) using runway 25 at Sky
Manor with a
90 degree crosswind of about 12-15 knots gusting to about 18-20kt. The
landings here were pretty good.



What aircraft were you flying? What is its max crosswind component?

Congratulations on taking on crosswinds for practice; on handling the scary
situation back home. Well done.
