The Ercoupe (also produced as the Aircoupe and the Mooney M-10 Cadet, which had rudder pedals) had an interesting way of handling crosswind landings. The landing gear was of the trailing beam design. The pilot flies the plane onto the runway essentially crabbed to handle the crosswind. The landing gear is strong enough that it will straighten out the plane when it touches down. I got a ride in an Ercoupe once and we had a crosswind. It was wierd.

As a historical tidbit, I've read that Boeing used Ercoupes to train the first generation of 707 pilots in the late 1950s. The clearance between the 707's engines and the runway was such that you couldn't touch down with a wing low in a crosswind. Instead, the pilots had to use the Ercoupe technique.
