Default Ailerons

I've been thinking about moving up to ailerons. I don't plan on moving too soon as I've only had my new plane (Tiger Moth) for a while.
My first question is how are planes with ailerons moved? I know in a real aeroplane it is banked with the ailerons and the turn is coordinated with the rudder. Is this how it is done with RC planes as well?
My second question is would I be ready for ailerons? I have flown an aerobird and a GWS Tiger Moth and I am confident with both of these. I am also doing real flight training so I understand all the theory and how to do it in a real plane.
My third question is would the Great Planes DC-3 be a good first aileron plane? (I've got a load of other questions about this plane too but I'll save them for another post.
Thanks for all your help.
Alex.
