RE: Rudder/Aileron
Andy,
The reason for differential aileron throw is to alleviate much of the need for rudder input, as it helps eliminate adverse yaw. As far as your ΒΌ scale champ, it will fly more like the real deal than a model. So using rudder on the takeoff to track straight, getting the tail up on the takeoff roll while building speed, and using the ailerons if doing a crosswind takeoff all get crammed into a very few seconds of control. Once on the mains, build speed until it is ready to fly off. Although challenging to do correctly, it is very rewarding.
