[NSRCA-discussion] Rudder

RJO... 
      Why not accept the airplane is reacting to your coming off the right rudder you had in when it was still in contact with he ground?

       You have to consider equal and opposite reactions. The CG goes through the air with forward motion. (kinetic energy) The fuse will rotate around the CG, crab, weather vane, whatever... in a cross wind. In 
  a crosswind, and the airplane at a high speed, the airplane appears to be flying "straight", but the track 
  is blown in the direction of the wind... The CG, the entire airplane. In this case, we wind correct with 
  rudder. Nose into the wind. At slower speeds, takeoffs and landings for example, (my airplane anyway)
  the fuse rotates around the CG, nose into the wind. Taking off left to right, wind in my face, I have to
  hold right rudder on rollout. When it breaks ground, the nose STILL wants to go into the wind. To hold 
  heading, I would still have to hold right rudder. If not, it "sniffs" into the headwind. You can't tell me you 
  all haven't experienced this.
