Default applying rudder?

Hey Guys, can some one tell me when your flying straight and level and you apply right or left rudder why the nose of the plane goes down. I don't have much rudder experience but I'm thinking it might be good to learn how to fly my Alpha 40 with just the rudder and elevator when I have it flying high. Right now I have no trouble flying with just the ailerons but my better judgement tells me I need to learn how to use it. When it comes too the cross wind landings I just correct my landings with the wind and land in the field but would rather land on the runway even with cross winds.
