Notice it was doing what Cessna's do when stalled ... mushing along and slightly dropping a wing a little bit .... until he tried to apply aileron to level the wing and then boom .. the adverse yaw from the downward moving aileron stalls the wing tip and a lovely incipient spin entry ensues.

But it looks just like a steering wheel - so why doesn't it work like one?
This information is guarded like the Crown Jewels in flight training.
I always liked the crosswind landing gear on the Moo-Too and B-52.
The B-52’s crosswind gear is neat, I wonder if it’s automatic or if there’s a tiller or something to point the wheels down the runway.
Sadly the rice rocket’s wheels always point forward(ish) so a crosswind just means my landing is going to suck.

You're not going to believe this, but I'm pretty sure that you can
get crosswind landing gear for the Cessna 190/195.

Indeed they did - I have seen it, not very common and certainly weird enough to get your attention walking by. If memory serves me correct the owner (195) replaced the gear with conventional, he just could not deal with the concept. -- haha

He didn't say anything to dispatch when he turned in the keys.
