Do you crab or forward slip in X wind landings
Crab for grass, slip for paved.
I never understood why you would slip until I started using a paved runway. It is surprising how much crosswind you can handle without the low wing dragging, but on a narrow runway it might be necessary to land offset from centerline so the low wing is over the runway and the high wing is over the obstacles beside the runway.
