KIS. Don't complicate the issue!!

My first consideration is to have the control column centered. That way you wont have any spoilers sticking up on the wing, at the very time you dont need it. How do you centralise the control column? "kick it level" E.G., if the wheel/column is to the left of centre, left rudder is needed. Boot it, then hold it. Give it time to settle but dont juggle the rudders. Don't even need a ball, as it will be very close to centre.

This worked for me, on light piston twins to heavy 4 engined jets.

A fixed wing aircraft, is just that. Just another aircraft. The basics are the same, whatever the power plant, when ever they are situated, swept or straight wing.
