And I submit to you, that in real-life practice, where the nose is pointed has most to do with which way the airplane is going. Of course the ailerons and elevator give a much finer tune to the way it is going, but the rudder is primary.

Sorry I came off as a "butchered" explanation - I was simply explaining a specific technique that I add to the way of accomplishing the motor skill of overcoming the negative trasfer that will occur during the initial attempts at controlling this 3-D vehicle through space and time.

Yes, I explain the aerodynamics as explained exactly in the AFH and other places, but I also talk about 'How', as in Application; and 'How' becomes very personal.

I will be kind and just say you might want to consider opening your mind up enough to understand what Taylor is trying to tell you. He is right.
