Capey500, I agree. However if a new pilot really wants to understand what a rudder is about, then you should pilot an older Taylorcraft (my experience, other old planes haven't reacted so obviously). All the descriptions in all the books didn't make sense to me until I turned the wheel "right" and the plane went "left". Wow, what an eye opener. The planes' reaction was _not_ subtle like in a modern Cessna or Piper. After about 30 minutes all my coordination started happening together. eek!
