Default RE: When does one use the rudder?

Rufcut.. good one!!

gboulton : Just one more quick question and hopefully a quick reply.. don't want to bore others with my proper lack of comprehension here..

Ok.. I want to make a right aileron turn. What direction and how much rudder do I apply for a basic, long orbital turn (not a short quick turn, just a long relaxed turn)? Someone pointed out 'follow the aileron with rudder so right aileron turn means right rudder, right...err correct ( )?

Not necessary to say " 12 degrees left.. or right.. whatever" just something like a small amount.. or a large amount.. I will do it and see what amount is necessary next time out, which, hopefully, will be this coming weekend.. if the weather cooperates!!

And thanks again for all your help and that of others that posted replies.
