you want to keep the airplanes track parallel to the runway. Using rudder to do this will not result in a downgrade from the judges. Leaning the wings into the wind will result in a downgrade.
I took you to mean that if your model wasn't flying parallel to the runway, you used rudder alone to change the line and avoid being easily seen to be making a turn. Are you actually saying that you hold on into wind rudder all the way along a "straight line"?
