Default HELP with learning rudder control

I have about 6 gallons through my second plane, a super stick .40 with a magnum .46. I am having a blast doing endless touch-and-go's, A-roll and loops, but I have noticed that I rarely use the rudder. I line-up and adjust for landings instinctively using the ailerons.

Is there an instructor's trick or drill I could use to get better at using the rudder control? I would like to be a competent flyer and progress from here eventually, but I seem to be stuck using only 3 channels, unless it's windy, that is. Then I am forced to put a bit of rudder to land.

Help from experienced flyers, instructors and left-handed beginners will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
