Regarding the use of rudder, could it be because (as 411A point out) that the older generation was tought to fly on tailwheel aircraft? I remeber the schoolflying, and we were strictly taught to use any amount of rudder required, to recover from stall or other flight manouvers before those would end in a stall. So the "use of rudder" is/was burried deep inside, and that goes for me allso, until I did some time on a tailwheel aircraft (Pilatus PC6). You simply cannot fly that one, if you donīt start useing rudder as a "tool" rather as an "solution". Donīt know if that make sense, but that was what I noticed about my self. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
