| For basic flight, about the only time you will use the rudder is to keep it straight on the ground during takeoffs and landings. other than throttle, your left hand doesn't do much.
When you get into aerobatics and start doing torque rolls, knifes etc, then you get into using the rudder.

a different direction; many scale planes can benefit/need coupled controls. Even with a basic trainer, you can use the rudder to assist with cross wind landings. This is where your heli skills will help with airplanes.
never say never.
