Would this improve crosswind landing behavior?

Hi Pat,
I don't think so.
The B-52 had cross-wind landing gear that allowed the plane to land with
a crab while the wheels went straight down the runway. That seems like
a different think from the XL.
The XL will fly somewhat sideways with the wings level, but the wheels
always point in the same direction as the nose of the plane. This seems
to me to make it more difficult to get the wheels going down the runway
while landing. You still need to tip the wings into the wind to get it
flying straight down the runway in a crosswind. A crab will only help
you, in this case, if you have engine power to pull the plane to the side.
I could easily be wrong about this question. I still have a lot of
testing to do to be sure of anything.

Paul,
Does your nosegear have a detent (notch that a pin on the strut drops into when
weight is released)? This for me basically locks the rudder when in flight.
I only need to push right rudder on climb out.

Hi Ted,
Yes I do. However, it doesn't seem to center properly. I need to kick
the rudder pedal to get the plane to fly straight forward. If you look
at the geometry of the rudder and the fuselage side in front of the
rudder you may see that there is a bit of play in the rudder position
before it actually moves the tail one way or another.
