This is an excellent point, Jerry. If an Ercoupe that can handle 15 knots of crosswind using a standard landing, then it would seem that such an Ercoupe could use combination of rudder and crabbed landing to land in a 45 knot crosswind. Is this true or am I just dreaming? Does the addition of rudder pedals increase you ability to handle crosswinds?
