Personally, having got it down, it wasn't much harder to keep straight in the landing rollout than a glider... maybe I have good habits. It was not as bad as I had expected. Rudder is plenty effective.

Takeoff, however, was a ***different matter***. At least one veered wildly to the left, once all the power was added... Good accurate aileron correction into the wind is also needed, otherwise you will easily be on one wheel in a crosswind...
