Default RE: Steering rolling harriers

Yeah, I am just wondering if differential would really help? On most of the planes I have ever flown, flying RH in a straight line is a lot harder than a circle. The circle just naturally happens and straight lines require a little more thought at first. I always assumed that it was becuase we naturally start the inputs a little early. Most everyone I know that flies 3D has the same issue with this in the beginning.
Now that I think about it, that seems logical. The adverse yaw probably doesn't affect rolling harriers where the prop wash is about all that is rolling it. It would be when the wings are actually flying like in rolling circles. Here is some video I had of my Radix 3D doing rolling circles. What's cool is I'm only using full aileron control. A couple of times I had to intervene with other controls to keep from coming into the pits. I titled it wrong. I meant to put "adverse yaw effect".
