	The right rudder is needed for other reasons, though.  For example, 
even a little 152 needs constant application of right rudder in straight 
and level flight.  You've always got your foot pressing ever so 
slightly.  Fancier planes have rudder trim so you don't have to get 
cramps.  Been a long time since I've been in the left seat and I don't 
recall why the right rudder is necessary... might be coriolis effect, 
but not sure anymore.
