Flying large transport category airplanes, the only time I use rudder is in a crosswind on final approach, for directional control on the runway, or during an engine failure. My feet are on the floor while handflying and making manual turns.
Glueball: In your a/c type there's probably a yaw damper involved somewhere, so although there may be some rudder needed in a turn, with the damper switched on the damper will take care of this.
