Just wondering,
Does anyone ever mix ailerons with rudder to help keep the plane level, or do most people with ailerons not use the rudder often enough to be bothered?

I've been mucking around with it lately. But be prepared to stir up a hornets nest if you talk about mixing it in with your radio. ;D

I have actually been practicing my coordinated turns with rudder and aileron on left and right sticks respectively. Turns are much smoother when you can keep the ball in the middle aye ;D

I think it's pretty much plane dependent. I've found the rudder on an aileron modified Cub is kinda useless. Mixing does little. I've done it with an on/off switch to compare and am unimpressed. I have several planes like this. On 3D type it can make a big difference. OTOH the point of that is to also learn L-thumb rudder use so mostly (right now anyway) I don't.
Try it. Doesn't hurt.

I do the mixing in my head, not only because of my current lack of a programable radio, but because it keeps me in control of the plane, I dont want something thats not my hands controling my plane because there is always the chance that human error comes back in control and you forget about the fact that your rudder and ailerons work together. Possibly causing....yeah....it depends on the plane and the pilot.......

The next plane I am thinking of getting, PZ P-51D doesn't even have a rudder control although it has the option to add one. I have flown the T28 trojan and did not use the rudder at all. Good thing because I am use to turning the plane with my right thumb.
As far as I can tell its not necessary until you want to start trying some more complex aerobatics.
