audie, the rudder is used in turns sometimes too and they call it coordinatiing your turns, i personally don't use it yet for turns, but plan to ask about it soon. On landing it is good you used your rudder because thats what you do on landings is use it to keep yourself straight and ailerons for levelness. You have to remember that when you touchdown on landings, you are rudder only, so thats how you taxi and get out of the way..
