Not to sure about this, I think most people just start rolling left, and inputing up elevator and right rudder at the same time. Thinking left rudder first, then transitioning to right gets very confusing.

If you think about it, the rudder and elevator inputs are reversed on a outside to inside roller, but the proportions are very close. The planes pitch and roll coupling are the reason for the differnt proportions of control input between the two. Again, JMO
