Correct wing drop with rudder or aileron?
When you are trying to keep the wings level in a harrier do you correct a dropping wing with aileron or rudder??
I find myself constantly making small corrections with the ailerons to keep the wings level while I steer the plane around with the rudder. Upright and inverted harriers are no problem but it's a lot of constant work to make it look good.
Thanks for all your help.

George,
A coordinated use of both rudder and aileron are used. By the definition of coordinated in full scale airplanes there has to be rudder used in the turn to keep the proper rate of turn for any given angle of bank. This is paramount flying beyond the stall.
