Gary:

I agree that at high speeds, you can do some pretty nice knife edge and slow rolls without even using the rudder.....it's when you slow it down for a nice rolling or knife-edge show center pass that I find I need all the rudder, and then some to keep the nose on line....that's when I find the need for the mixes....but actually, the aileron and elevator I have mixed in is quite minimal at that.....

The rudder is very effective....I have cranked in all I can get, and at full power I can climb in knife edge quite sharply when I have burned off about 1/2 the fuel....almost can do the top 1/2 of a knife-edge loop, although it does get quite high at the apex.....
