") in an emergency, during a heavy,
gusty crosswind beyond the aircraft's rudder capacity, your best bet
is simply to go with the "crab-plant' approach, and associated repair
bills.


Lots of people bad mouth the Ercoupe as a sissy airplane. Yet it is landed
in a crab. Makes any crosswind landing a no brainer. I owned one for a
number of years and only checked the windsock to make sure I wasn't landing
against the traffic flow. :-)

Now I have to check the wind sock again.
