never stepped on the ball, they moved the stick in the direction the

you do to co-ordinate! Interesting. It works just as well and unless
you're making a gross correction you'd never notice the difference. I
guess it comes from a naval notion of the rudder being the primary
control or something..


Holy ****, I thought it was me and my newbieness. I am working NAS JAX
and spending time with the NAS and I get the same conversations.



No reason why it wouldn't work just as well! As long as you're co-
ordinated.
