Default no ailerons???????

please, NO, NO and NO !!!!

it is WRONG to think that you turn with the ailerons, you bank with them, and that's it !

using properly the rudder is a skill that too many lacks, and flying a rudder only plane as a beginner is a good thing, IF YOU NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU LEARNED......

As an aside, little story.....Some weeks ago, I took off with my old trusted super sporster .40, with a strong OS .70 surpass in the nose.. this thing move.... first turn after take off, I realised I had no ailerons......well, throttled back, and brought it back for a pretty correct landing with rudder only ( not much dihedral, but just enough). Very happy that I never plugged my rudder as said !
BTW, that was all due to my stupidity and precipitation, I simply had not plugged the ailerons properly....
