Default Turns with a CP+

Many years ago I was a competent RC airplane flier. I even competed in some pattern competitions. Getting tired of airplanes, I purchased a used Concept 30 gas chopper that I became proficient with at hovering. When I decided to attempt forward flight, I found that the chopper flew like my pattern planes only needing elevator and ailerons for turns and very little, if any, rudder. Problem was, I could never figure out how to transfer back from "airplane" mode to helicopter mode and the result was a nasty crash. I lost interest in RC and stopped flying. Last Christmas my kids got me a Blade CP+. I am becoming fairly good at hovering and thinking ahead to forward flight. After all the preface, my question is this. How much rudder does one need to use to make turns during forward flight with a CP+? Or, do you have to continuously use rudder to even keep it flying straight with only the 3 in 1 control unit?
