Di_Vosh - right on the money. Well said. You might not want to pick on DreamerJules, but I will - DreamerJules, you are (as your nick suggests) still dreaming. Wait till you have the first "P" in PPrune before pontificating.
And on the rudder blanking topic - in my experience there is no single answer. I've flown types where there is almost zero rudder blanking no matter what flap or rudder inputs are applied (and I am talking full deflection from Vs to Va), and I've flown two types where the immediate response to full rudder is a vicious nose-down pitch.
Blanket (pun intended) rules suggesting that 'sideslip is bad' are arse-covering measures catering for the lowest commen denominator imposed by those unable/unwilling to properly teach the phenomenon. Using the rudder will not necessarily blank the elevator in all types, and will not necessarily stress the flaps.
