Use the rudder manually. With experience you'll make a decision as to what you want to do. Personally, I don't mix anything. I think it's more fun to actually have to make the flight control inputs myself! Nothing more fun than crabbing a Cub down the runway rolling one wheel, lifting, crabbing the other way and then rolling the other wheel. Can't do that if you mix stuff!
Why not?? The rudder still works when you mix in a little offset. you guys make it sound like if you have a mix the rudder it will no longer respond to the rudder stick movement,, all it does is adjust the trim position slightly.. The rudder still works.
OK... I will re-phrase it. You may not be able to do stuff like that with the 'mix'. I don't want to mix any fun away as far as my flying is concerned!
well, that's a different meaning when you put it that way, now I see what you were saying

Most only use ail-rud mix to help cure bad tendencies,, not to replace the need to use ever use rudder.
