>Sweet! Gotta love crosswind takeoffs. :-)Cheers, i don't know the actual procedure for a crosswind takeoff, but I use the rudder until airborne then I use the ailerons to keep level, but the only thing wrong in doing that is that as you can see in the last shot, I had only just become airborne, and I am already off track...

You should use the rudder to track the centreline, including on the ground once it has authority.

[Guest Knikolaes]

The ailerons are good to keep level, but along with Norm's response, yes, use enough rudder to "crab" into the wind to hold centerline. :-)
