The landings were a bit different if you had any crosswind at all,
but easily doable in the crab. Take off was the same. As soon as
you broke ground, it weather vaned into the wind with aileron.
Sort of a "spooky" little airplane but it flew quite well and was
quite fast for its day.

The one I flew didn't have the later rudder capability. Never flew
the Alon.

Are you supposed to kick out the crab or land crabbed?

There's nothing to kick. It has a Brake pedal out of a 39 nash on the
floor and that's it.

holy cow...

so you expect to side load?

Yep, the gear was well able for it. A lot of people land everything like
this.
