Statistically ya gotta 50 - 50 chance of using the correct rudder............

So why in God's name, sure as He made little green apples, I'll move that stick the wrong way 90% of the time.

Hey Chuck, you can't say ANYTHING anymore without offending someone.  
One radio commentator calls us the "United States of the Offended".

BTW, I cheat as much as possible when I fly.  I also seem to get caught 
a lot, especially when my "cheat" makes things worse. After all, wrong 
rudder is the most powerful force in the universe, isn't it?!

I apologize if anyone took offense to my cheating comment.   My entire
flight is a cheat to avoid zeros.  It was meant to be humorous.  Every
correction made is a "cheat" we hope is not noticed so we receive the
highest score possible.
