And I’ve flown with a couple that fly that way.

Yes, I fly the CL-604 like above. This describes it perfectly. And if you need more than @ 6 degrees bank, then I would land crabbed 2 degrees into the wind, and use less bank ( or just go around, and land somewhere else.) I'm just estimating 6', and I don't have a POH reference to back that up.
