Interesting...because the first CFI I flew with in 15 years had me use the
exact same technique my primary instructor taught me: point it down the
runway with the rudder, hold it over the centerline with the ailerons. I
had
thought that was the standard light aircraft approach to the problem.

I wouldn't expect differential thrust to be manageable with a
turbofan/turbojet because of the time lag between throttle and thrust.
