pretty much, the AFM says you have 5 degress of bank (with full strut extension) at 6 degrees of pitch (supposedley that is enough for a 30 knots of crosswind!). Its called a "kick out" and it works very well. You still touchdown on the upwind main first but the downwind main isn't that far off the ground and NEEDS to come down very quick, because as the struts compress you loose a lot of that clearance on the inboard engine. It is easier than it sounds, the transition from crab to slip is quick enough that the airplane stays tracking the centerline without having to drop the wing more than a couple of degrees before touchdown.
