I was talking to a pilot friend of mine the other day. He was telling me that during takeoff pilots are so accustomed to countering the various torques on the aircraft by using small corrections that they almost don't even notice it, or forget they are doing it. It's just natural. If one's setup does not include rudder pedals, I wonder if that's an impediment to judging the takeoff controllability? I don't know. I haven't flown for real in a long time. And the vehicles I have lots of real flight simulator experience in don't really count . ;-) Jon
