HORSE-PUCKY! There is nothing wrong with using some Rudder mixed into Aileron with an airplane that can benefit from doing so. If you have no problem coordinating turns without a mix, fine. However, with some airplanes and for some flyers it makes sense. It does not need to be very much.
Yeah, and then all you need to do is fight it on every crosswind takeoff and landing. It can even mess up a newbie on no wind days. No sense making him learn to fly properly is there? Not to mention how bad it will make every aileron roll look.
I agree with Bruce, mixes are a bit of a debilitating crutch when learning. Maybe later on after a new flier has learned to control both rudder and aileron as needed but not before.
