you get differential breaking as you approach full rudder
Am I the only one who thinks this form of brake control is more likely to result in ground looping?

You're trundling along, it's getting a little bit hairy and you're giving it bootfuls of rudder, all of a sudden completely unintentiionally you've used full brake as well... You're suddenly pointing considerabley sideways.

Much prefer to be trying to jab a seperate brake pedal, myself.
