- appeared to touchdown in slight crab, with slight side load.
- straightened nose after touch down.
- kept wings level. ( no chance of wing strike.)

Any thoughts on this one ?

technique is technique but I don’t know anyone who lands in the crab except by accident.
This guys downwind wing definitely dips for lack of ailerons control.
There is plenty of aileron control and no need to side load these airplanes in normal ops.

What isn’t technique is momentum.
