Default aileron to rudder mix?

WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!

The rudder is always used to produce Yaw, whether to overcome adverse yaw or to produce yaw. The rudder is not an elevator. Perhaps one should search on the net for theory of flight.
I'll have to disagree with you.Slam. It is neither completely wrong, nor completely right. There are times when the 'rudder' IS used as the elevator. When doing the knife edge , the rudder IS used as the elevator and the 'elevator' IS used as the rudder. Correct?


I guess you could call it an association to assist RC pilots..
