Crosswind landing are not much of a factor with this plane due to the very small tail/rudder. The tailwheel is not lockable or steerable, it's 360 degrees of full swivel. This makes brakes critical on all take offs and landing, especially landings like this one where the high crosswinds were swirling in all directions. I was well inside my personal safety margins however my buddies might disagree, after they saw me flying, they posted mid field to make sure I didn't need to help picking up airplane parts.
