HEY!..GET OUTTA MY TREE!
I have yet to fly a plane, or speak with any pilots (precision style flying) that DON'T have some mixing in to cancel out these issues. Even a Carden will generally need something here or there. Can one fly without the mixes....sure! Is it a little easier to fly precision with them....in my opinion Yes!
Bart....I gave up long ago on trying to understand exactly what's going on to cause it. Makes my head hurt . Some models are better and some not so much. With any given plane, CG has an effect on it.
Does a full scale Pitts, Extra, etc have coupling? DamnedifIknow....we just applied the appropriate control inputs to keep the nose where we wanted it! But with RC, why not let the capabilities of the system help us out.....of course once we've fine tuned mechanical stuff (CG, incidences, thrust lines, etc).
I've always had my planes set up so the mixes where active all the time....never saw a reason for turning them off.
