Ailerons in crosswind

[pelmet]

For a light crosswind of about 4-7 knots, do you hold in full aileron most of the way until the upwind(oops change that to downwind float - my mistake) float lifts or just a bit until ready to lift the float?

Thanks.

I try to avoid rolling the upwind float...

I have to think this is a "dyslexic" post and upwind, downwind are confused -- in any aircraft, land, sea or ski I always start and the stops and go from there and let the aircraft tell me how much control input I need. I would assume that's the way most people do it.

^Could it be that FlightSim doesn't work well with floatplanes?

Oops, thanks guys for catching that. My mistake. Anyways, your input, make that aileron input;) would be appreciated.
