I don't think most of you realize your VNE is your wind limit. Limited by forward cyclic travel from blowback. Very few if any other wind limits exist. Performance data is a different story in which emphasis is put on crosswind "limitations" what are essesntially demonstrated data. So let's stop beating our chests about what wind you've flown in. As long as it's off the nose there is nothing to brag about, and if it's cheating with crosswind well you're approaching test pilot territory.

Have fun with that.
