RE: how to steer plane
The wright Brothers were not only the first to fly, they were also the only ones (For a long time anyway) to realize the importance of banking the wings in a turn (Remember their wing warping?)
A turn is done by banking the wings with the ailerons and controlling pitch with the elevators.
A rudder is used to control the Yaw axis. And while a rudder CAN be used to turn, it is not the accepted method.
