Yes. The rudder pedals move with aileron control inputs. And yes, they can
be moved independently of the ailerons due to the spring configuration.

So they move, but you can feel the movement and override it if you
want? I guess that's okay. I have an aversion to true fly-by-wire
systems, but if you know what it's doing and you can override it, it's
probably still safe.

It makes slipping down final in a crosswind a little more difficult since you
have the usual control forces due to aerodynamic pressure plus the pressure
applied by the springs. That's why I prefer to crab down final and
straighten out just before the wheels touch down. That's also easier on the
passengers.

The crabbing technique is the only one I've tried in the sim thus far.
It was impossible with just a keyboard; adding a joystick made it
possible, although it's not easy.

A J-3 is a Piper Cub.

Thanks.
