What is the rule of thumb for calculating maximum x-wind speed for a given plane?

The rule of thumb for calculating maximum safe crosswind is to take the clean stall speed of the airplane and multiply it by 0.2. Ex: 50KT stall speed would mean the airplane should be safe in 10KTs of direct x-wind. Check your POH for max demonstrated crosswinds in your plane.
