Leslie: Alons were factory built with rudder pedals, bucket seats, and an instrument panel similar to current aircraft. Although there is some joy in landing crabbed in crosswinds in non-rudder'coupes, the rudder is useful in producing a limited amount of slip to lose altitude even quicker and in reducing the side load on the gear if you choose to land the way you were taught in three-control aircraft.
If you are tall however, the pedals will get in your way.
