Yeah the PTS lands fine, even when not employing the rudder.

I've trained a bunch of people on it.


I don't know if he was trying to say that use of the rudder is required, but except on takeoff it is not.

The plane does tend to yaw at run-up, but this can be corrected to a large degree using standard fixes...

e.g.

- Raise the tail so the plane sits more level
- Toe in the wheels.
- Add a click or two of right rudder or a mix.

All too often instructors often pull off all of the training aides far too quickly because they believe the plane feels underpowered.
All of these devices are designed to work in UNISON, to provide a trainer-like experience.

The changes made make the plane more difficult for a novice to fly, than it's intended design.
