My 415D coupe has the rudder kit mod but as you probably know the
rudders
are not that effective. I resort to crab crosswind landings but can't get
used to the tire squeal and side way lurch at touch down. My tail sets
nice
and high but the upwind wing still lifts when the plane turns to the
actual
direction of travel. I've read enough about people trying to bring the
wing
down and ground looping, so I let it come down by myself. I've only got
about 40 hrs since last August in an Ercoupe, maybe with more hours it
will
get easier on my nerves. Sure is a fun plane though.Jack Utah (U42) N103JF, SN:745 >
