I turned crosswind and attempted to shallow the climb. This time, I pulled out some power as I transitioned to the crosswind leg. I crossed the runway threshold at 70 mph and let a little more speed bleed off as I attempted to stay a few inches off the runway with the nosewheel slightly up. My shirt was wet. Waiting on me.

Crosswind Landings : Learning no-flap crosswind landings can help improve aircraft control in high-wind conditions. This is important because crosswinds can make it difficult to control the aircraft at low speeds, so a no-flaps landing can teach you how to land with a higher approach speed.

The J-4’s cockpit is wider than the more common J-3, and the second generation brought about the replacement of the open cowl with exposed exhaust ports with a fully enclosed cowl. The plane has no internal radio, so cockpit and external communications were running through a portable intercom plugged into a portable radio.
