This thread has me torn in two directions:
Agreeing that ailerons are a good thing as learning to fly without them would be problematic at best
Agreeing that ailerons are not needed after building a Sig Kadet Jr that was designed with significant amounts of dihedral and no ailerons. The directions even say to connect the rudder to the right stick to learn how to use ailerons but not how to use a rudder.
Since my first Kadet was destroyed in a move before it was ever flown, I'm building another one from plans with all the diredral removed and barn door ailerons three bays wide added to an extended wing. It won't be an aerobatic plane by any means but it will be one that flys
After learning how to fly a Piece of Cake powered glider this is how I taught myself building that Kadet Jr. no ailerons and with rudder on the right stick. It worked for me.
That plane however had lots of dihedral so it was a good candidate for no ailerons. I did ultimately learn how to coordinate rudder in turns but a few planes down the road. It is habbit now while turning a plane if it needs rudder input I add it automatically without even thinking about it.
Listen to your instructer.
