With modern aircraft and differential ailerons and relatively short wingspans there's hardly any use at all in bootfuls of rudder in normal flight. Gliders maybe. When you start flynig aeroplanes that are a little bigger with a few passegers on board they certainly will not thank you for being busy on the rudder pedals.
Wing drop on finals? Ohmygawd!
If any of you C152 pilots want to know how to turn without rudder OR ailerons let me know.
