Default rudder use as per my needs as a beg. r/c pilot

Very interesting. I see each opinion as being very informative.

For my needs, as an aviation enthusiast and a beginner r/c pilot, I'd think that rudder is most important on landing in a considerable crosswind. I hope my yet to be found instructor understands this. As a lone wolf, I can take off,
"keep it in the air" and have a great flight experience using only aileron under fairly windy conditions. I know how to co-ordinate a turn but my landings are not real graceful. Luckily where I learned to fly, turning into the wind was not a problem for landing. Things have changed now though. I never learned how to land using my rudder properly.

When I can land, low & slow using both rudder & aileron under these high crosswind conditions, I'll consider myself a much more accomplished pilot.

Just get it.
