I have read much about the MD-8X series and what was mentioned again and again by people claiming to be pilots of this plane is that during the early moments of climbout (high AOA), and particularly at high TOW, the plane is very sensitive to aileron input.....and that rudder should be used instead to keep wings level until airspeed increases. Does that sound anywhere near correct?
