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

The second answer is, the instructor was referring to controlling the
aircraft in flight. In a taildragger, you lead a turn with rudder before
adding the aileron.

Really, so this applies with a 180 versus a 182?

I don't know. I learned in a taildragger, I always lead with rudder
regardless of what I am flying.

Your passengers must enjoy the barf-inducing yaw that this provides to them.
I learned in a taildragger too, and I've rarely come across such puppycock.

Okay, how about this answer...
I apply whatever control inputs are required to keep the ball centered
throughout the turn. I don't think about it, I just do it. :-)

Some aircraft need no rudder for turns up to about 30 degrees since the
controls are interconnected. The 180 and 182 are the same airplane so
they fly the same.
