Long wing spans are harder to land in a cross wind.

Oh, I dunno, I have landed a glider in 20+ knots x-wind. My old Archer only
had a 17 knot demonstrated x-wind. Then again, with a 35 knot touchdown
speed less 20 knot headwind, just ignore the runway and land into the
wind. - only takes about 50 feet.
