RE: using rudder
Rye, Don't bother with mixes. Everytime you turn your plane right or left just apply your rudder slightly into the turn every time you turn your plane to see how it responds. After you do this a number of times it will become habit and you will add, mix, the amount of rudder needed to complete the turn. As has been said some planes benefit from this more than others. It is good to learn though either way.
