I'll take a plane that barely does knife-edge with full rudder any day if it does so without rolling towards the wheels or canopy.
Been there, flown that

Except it still doesn't take that much rudder to fly on knife-edge :]
I can second what Brett said about the Valiant. When I flew Bryan's I did knife-edge from one end of the box to the other without touching the ailerons or elevator except when the wind bumped it. Took some time to get used to how little rudder it actually took, but once I got used to that, everything else was gravy.
