If they don't control the rudder, they do not make coordinated turns! --Dan Boy we have the blind leading the blind here. The whole point of that big vertical slab of metal sticking out of the ass-end of your airplane is to provide a natural tendency for the aircraft to fly coordinated. The pedals are just there for the outlying conditions (low speed, high AOA for example) and fine adjustment. Ron... oh my goodness...get some time with a good book on the subject and then a CFI.
