Default RE: taking off

Using rudder, especially around the landing strip, is great practice. Not enough people use rudder, or at least use it enough. You should be using rudder to keep in line with the strip on landing, so why not use it to keep in line on take off? Now if your plane is really rolling as it pulls to the left, then of course aileron will be needed to keep the plane level.

Good question. This is obviously my opinion, so it will be interesting to read the other responses.
