You could probably get by with using the keyboard. If your hotas has an extra rotary you could use that instead. I only use rudder for taxi, take off/landing with crosswinds. Soon as I'm in the air I generally take my feet off the pedals and don't use them anymore..Untill I'm damaged and have to at least. The a10 has a system that helps with coordinated turns up to +/- 7 Degrees of rudder. I think it's the Stability Augmentation System.
