Default One, big sh*t-eating grin...!

I only flew a C-150 once, did most of my primary in a C-172,
and don't remember my CFI telling me to lead my turns.


You didn't use rudder for your turns in a 172? I learned in a 172, and
IIRC a turn without rudder was uncoordinated.


Joe's instructor flies primarily tail-wheel aircraft. His main ride
is a 1929 Travel Air -- so you KNOW he knows what a rudder is for.

He thinks tricycle gear aircraft aren't the best to train in -- but
the only tail-dragger available for rent on the field is a Citabria,
and it's not available for primary flight instruction.
