Default rudder only, or ailerons too??

I am a beginner. I have crashed my plane several times. i put it away a few years ago after hitting a telephone pole, but I got an urge to get it out again. I have if physicaly repaired, and the engine runs well. My question is: In order to simplify flying the thing, should I leave the ailerons in a fixed position and just use the rudder to fly? Is this a stupid idea, will it even work, is it easier than aileron flying, harder?? I dont have an extra servo (got lost in the shuffle) and I dont want to have to buy one if I dont have to. I am trying to just get this thing in the air and back down in one peice, and I dont THINK that I need the ailerons. The airplane is an OLD hobbico Flightstar 40.

thanks all in advance,
