I have to agree with TruBlu02 on what he said about flying with ailerons vs rudder. I am a beginner and i fly mostly with elevator and aileron, i usually only use rudder to steer on the ground, to experiment with smoother turns, or to crab on final(which can be risky). The ailerons better control the roll than the rudder, even though the plane can just fly on elevator and rudder. Focusing more on just aileron and elevator help keep your hands seperated on the radio (left hand power, right hand controls). In my opinion that seems to be a simple way to start, then throw in the rudder once you're comfortable with the charactersitics of the plane. But i'm sure this doesn't work for everybody, so do what feels comfortable, and you'll be fine.

Hopefully the weather will let up for a couple days so you can get er up there.
