"Also as said above, the removal of the cross-controls at lift off is very simple and natural and 9 times out of ten leaves the a/c pointing exactly the right way for the drift."
Quite. My answer to those who have seen LARGE extra aileron inputs during and after rotation I can only say it ain't helped by having a boot of rudder. There is aileron to counter the wing up effect, but there is even more to counter unnecessary rudder. Once lifting off it ain't necessary any more. I'll invite being shot down, but IMHO the FCTM is not the best explanation of how to do it. I disagreed with their approach to stall recovery technique, and guess what.......I still say we are all thinking pilots and even the Bible allows thinking followers.
