I am not saying you are cheating... I am just saying you are further ahead to learn how to do it properly.

It's fine and dandy when flying your own plane but what happens when you go to fly someone else's plane that doesnt have it? Personally I am lucky enough to get asked to fly a lot of planes that aren't mine for a maiden or just so people can see what it can do 3D wise.. if I relied on spoilerons to fix my problem with harriers then I wouldn't be able to do them with other people's planes.

Sure lots of top pilots use mixes to help with KE or flat turns but all of them can also fly those same planes without the mixes anytime they want.. but for competition most want that added edge so they can focus on other things.

I have my main plane right now mixed for nice flat turns for IMAC but during KE I have to fly it through it because it doesn't act the same.. you are a better plilot in my mind if you "cheat" as little as possible. You could put in a gyro to help you hover but I am against that too
