Why do so many people spend so much time working out which rudder and how much they need before they get into the aeroplane?
Fly it with your ass and use what you need to keep it STRAIGHT.

Going back to the point, a tailwind landing was the time I had my scare, in a Pitts. It probably wasn't as big a deal as I made it out to be but it caught me well off guard that's for sure, because I hadn't checked the windsock out to notice the windchange....
