Default Flying with rudder!

Thats why I was thinking using a plane without ailerons would force you to learn to use them.In strong winds just pull into the wind and slow down can come down vertical that way or back up if enough wind lot of fun with my eagle 2 or other light plane.Getting practice on rudder in wind by going up and slowing down try to back up requires quite a little rudder use along with ailerons.Find myself forgetting rudder in normal flying.Incidentally have 2 cubs and a citabria find them all to be hard to handle on ground found that floats will cut the ground looping a lot.Thing can't spin around as easy on floats.Don't think anything could help that Citabria!
