RE: couple of questions
If the rudder is on the aileron channel, his training experience will be close to a 4 channel plane. Most people learn the rudder last anyway. Some never do!! We have a fellow in our club that never hits the end of the runway on takeoff. He lets the engine pull the plane to the left and consistently takes off at about a 45deg. angle to the end of the runway. Even does touch-and-gos that way.
