With a trainer designed for ailerons you aren't going to have enough dihedral in the wings to fly it rudder only, you need to leave the ailerons connected and learn to fly it that way. I know you may have read this many times here on RCU, but the best advice I can give is to find an instructor to teach you to fly. The instructor is going to set you up on a buddy box so that you won't crash your plane while you learn to fly. While there are some that are "born natural" pilots and can learn to fly on their own without an instructor, they are indeed the minority. I would wager taht 99 out of 100 need to have an instructor.
According to the AMA website there are 2 clubs within 20 miles of you. Contact them and I'm sure they will be more than happy to help you learn to fly.
