now that's the kind of tests that I like!

30 m/s is some 108 km/h!! The 10 m/s wind is already quite an extreme weather condition for flying in a taildragger, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Check out this 109 video with the pilot (who has two HUGE balls!) crabbing into landing on a terrible airstrip and with a light crosswind component

(from minute 1.03)


as for your landing technique, there are a couple of things that you might want to refine. In a crosswind landing you always want to keep the wing in the wind down to avoid being toppled, and when flaring you still need to align the plane with the runway. Uh and don't forget to lock the tailwheel!
