Default RE: some question


ORIGINAL: Mode One

Fly a Cub, giant scale bipe or golden era general aviation airplane, or a WW1 airplane where coordinated turns really are necessary. The option of having a rudder aileron mix might be a nice feature, should a flier feel that's the way to go!

If your flying well enough that you are comfortable with an Extra, playing around with mixes will only help you fly better!

So, to say to forget the word "mix" I still say "Horse Pucky"!
Yes, this is very true. But in the context of the Beginner's Forum these planes, and flying them, isn't what we discuss here. So, while your point may be extremely valid for these plane types it's not as much valid here in the this forum where we are discussing people getting started in their flying career. And in this context it is extremly valid to say forget about mixes. Or rather it would be more appropriate to say "Forget about the mixes until after you've learned to fly and are moving on to more advanced planes that would benefit from them."
