I would rather have you learn to use the rudder in conjuction with the ailerons rather than a mix so you get the feel of what its like to use the rudder. So many new flyers never learn to use the left stick except to go fast or slow. The rudder is essential in flying a warbird especially at take off where the ailerons have little effect and can actually cause you to crash. Try flying using only the rudder and elevator to turn and see the effects. Practice rolling and use the rudder to help keep the roll axial. I always teach use of the rudder with my students so they know how to correct for cross wind takeoffs and landings later on. Mixs are fine but not a substitute for learning to use all the controls. I have a flying buddy who is a retired airline pilot and in his later years he would have new pilots who could not land in a cross wind without the use of the computer. I agree with the comment above about learning to fly the airplane to the ground not just floating in, real planes don't float into a landing they come in under power as this keeps airflow over the control surfaces. I wish you continued success and don't get discouraged over a crash or 2 at least with these planes you can walk away from it.
