RE: Rudders
I think people use rudder more than they realize on prop driven aircraft. I didn’t realize how much rudder I used on take off departure until I started using retracts in the 70s and had to take my thumb off the left stick to retract the gear. I had been automatically compensating for the P factor and didn’t realize it. Up until that time I knew that I used rudder a lot in pattern flying and on landings.
