Since I am the only one here who has had experience with a 45KT X-wind (at least who will admit to it) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dave, N99893 was left at Klone, Germany due to winter wheather catching it before her jorney was complete in to Russia. She was turned over to the German Commercial Pilot who was also licensed to fly in the United States... since the plane was American Registered it was the only way it could fly in that country.. About three months later the german pilot, called us and wanted to know if he flew the ercoupe correctly... he went into detail how he took it off and how he landed it but wasn't quite sure if he did it right.. Went on to tell that he lined it up for the landing in a severe cross wind and the plane seemed to be coming in side ways..(giggle) he said when she touch she straighten out and went straight down the runway. We, asked just how much cross wind did he bring it in at... his reply was 47mph. Our only comment to him was " Well you must of done it right for you are talking to us." N99893 was about as orginal as she could had no rudders not even a radio.. Wayne, had rigged a portable mode C to get her into Kennedy airport and then with a hand held radio. She held together and is still flying in Russia not sure of her tail numbers over there will ask Patty Wagstaff. Audean N6596Q
