Hi,
first of all, thanks for answering @hobanagerik & @ClouDAction
I ran a few more landings and take-offs with the Maddog, both in clear weather and with gradually increasing crosswinds.
My conclusion is there is an over-dimensioned effect of the crosswinds even a low speeds. I don’t think it is natural to have such a tendency to drift into the wind even a low speeds and at 40-50 ton.
The veering I feel now is more of an effect of overcompensating with rudder pedals. I tried to have a more stable approach (even allowing myself to land off center, nearly on the grass, just to test the veering) and with a more gentle rudder control it is possible not to veer as wildly but definitely very difficult to stay on the runway as well. It seems to me it s either gentle rudder but off road or stronger rudder but crazy veering.
What do you think?
