Track

[John Ferrell]

Make that Upwind wing a little low, rudder to track heading, carry some 
power.
In the Bonanza I used to do that a lot, touching down with full ailerons. 
You lose the side load on the gear that way.

HOWEVER: If you don't carry enough airspeed to avoid it, you will execute 
your final snap roll.
I bet the operating manual would rather test the gear on the big birds than 
the other set of conditions...
