No it doesnt...thats a bunch of POH malarky....you use alot of power and no flaps by driving it on around 100 knots with upwind wheel on the ground. Adding a crap load of power...throwing the nose forward at the same time to use the momentum and increased airflow over the tail. Any other way wont work. You can get any airplane on the ground way way outside crosswind component if you throw some weight and momentum into it. Multi engines work better.....you can put one engine at higher power and the other at idle or vice verse.
