Default rudder use

Our club had 15 pilots out at training this past Tuesday. On the second flight on a new plane BOTH ailerons parted company from the wing. There was CA glue on the hinges and balsa still attached. I landed the plane on the runway with no damage. You decide if rudder is necessary. I start the beginners with right stick for the first few flights and at 1/2 throttle or less. The rudder is added on the 3rd or 4th flight. This is my method and is my opinion. Others are welcome to theirs.
