Very Cool video, The company I work for builds part of that plane.
we build the leading edge of the wing and the forward section

[Windpower]

That's why tri-gear is so forgiving -- the forward weight pulls the plane straight after the mains touch down

My best (worst) most challenging landing in the 170 was at RFD with a 22 kt crosswind

I bottomed left rudder  several times with almost full right aileron-- but we made it ok
