I am flying a Nexstar trainer, I am a beginner, thus the forum choice, and the video I am referring to is a beginners video called "one week to solo" from 1st u.s. r/c flight school out of Wisconsin by Dave Scott. In that video, he mentions coupling ailerons with rudder in his trainer airplane. That is the reason I put this question forth in this particular forum. Have a pleasant day.

Rudder is used in turns most often with airplanes whose layout causes adverse yaw from aileron deflection. Not all planes do it, and the ones that do don't all do it a lot. There are two best solutions for it.
Best of all is to learn to fly each airplane with whatever stick(s) input it takes to make the airplane do what you want. In your case, learn to move the rudder however much helps cancel out the adverse yaw. The beauty of learning to do that is that it will teach you how to steer with the rudder, something that is VERY useful when near the ground, like during landings and takeoffs.
Second best of all is to rig your ailerons on the airplane to deflect with differential. That gets rid of the adverse yaw. Full scale airplanes have aileron differential quite often.
You actually couple rudder to ailerons when you have an adverse yaw problem. And you do that with the radio. Or with a radio that can do mixing.
