HighPlains. I was talking to a trainer and he also told me if someone thats training you doesent tell you that its very important to use the left stick, cause thats what seperates you from everyone else, then drop him and find another trainer.
I disagree with that statement...
While using the rudder will make a better pilot, a plane with elev/ail can be easily flown with little to no rudder input, and for a beginner starting out, flying with just elev/ail is much simpler. I would not drop an instructor just because he doesn't force you use your rudder when you're first starting out. If you really want to learn that way from the start, then just ask the instructor to show you. Two of my three planes don't even have rudders... they are ail/elev only...
