When learning to fly a sailplane in Tucson, the instructor commented
that the A10 pilots that came up from Davis Monthan AF thought that
the rudder pedals were welded to the floor. With a sailplane you
sure get adverse yaw and need rudder.


Even in a docile Cherokee or Skyhawk, you still need to use those
rudder pedals in the air during initial climbout and (especially)
during a crosswind landing.


All the best,
