"She's pretty ungainly at 100 knots making a turn to base or final with the use
of rudders."
------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure Scott meant to write "without the use of rudders." During transition training I learned that the ailerons are not very effective below 90 kts-- turns are done with the rudders at low airspeeds. With our swept wing, a yaw increases lift on one wing and reduces it on the other.
