Greg, A long time ago, When I first started flying 2 control, and no one to tell me other wise, I went through the same wing high situation. If you are carrying a little too much air speed on touchdown in a crosswind, the wing will naturally come up. I merely tapped the brakes a few times and like magic, the wing came down.
Now we all know that it is not magic that does it. If the wing is still flying because of excessive air speed, the only thing that will lower it will be to stall it. By using small inputs of brakes at this time does two things. It slows the airplane down and stalls out the wing, lowering it to the runay. In addition, You are in a crab at this point and the application of brakes will tend to pull the . airplane around and straighten it up because the wheel on the low wing will have most of the weight on it. So you wind up with the airplane where it is supposed to be. I have heard a lot of talk about use of brakes on this forum from time to time, both pro and con. For one I will continue to use this method because it works every time.......for me anyway.
