Default RE: (still) Rudderly confused

I am flying a Phoenix Dolphin, Obie Wan. Copy of a Four Star. Looks kinda like a pattern plane (and I stretch 'kinda'). Not enough rudder for 3D. Straight, wide-ish semi-symmetrical wings, a little dihedral, full length ailerons. Stab has no shape to it, just square. Flies pretty fast and tracks straight, is pretty light. Here's a pic...

And yeah, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and you're darn right I'm gonna fly that way! [>:] So I want to learn to use rudder like people do who pattern fly.

I don't have the best pics to show control surfaces, but I'm sure you get the picture.

And feel free to comment on my beautiful after-market landing gear I painstakingly installed on my second ARF
