RE: Ailerons or Rudder
you can get in trouble using the rudder down low like on approach, if you're not used to it.
practice using rudder a couple of mistakes high to make a flat turn, you will probably have to use opposite ailerons to keep it flat. make 360 deg turns. then try side slipping the plane. once mastered the rudder will be 2nd nature.
in the mean time stay with ailerons while on approach.
