But the rudder is applied out of wind.
This prevents the weathercock effect.
The aileron is applied into wind.
This keeps the aircraft weight evenly distributed and prevents wing lift.

Wind from left - rudder right - ailerons left.
That’s on the ground.

Once in the air rudder should be zero - if you release gently just as you rotate, the weathercock is allowed to occur - which effectively compensates for drift.
The aileron input should be taken out at this time too. During the weathercocking there will be a roll couple and releasing the aileron input compenstates this to some extent.
