Default Good (or bad) flying habits or set-up?

I hope some will help me out with some habits that I have. I don't have access to a trainer or instructor yet or even a coach. Maybe some is normal, characteristic of planes, bad habits or even my plane set-up. Hopefully this helps others as well and don't be afraid to post up if ya want similar help. I fly a small bi-wing albatross by flyzone. 3 channels.

1. First off I tend to still "only do one thing at a time" I tend to leave the throttle pretty steady and when making turns I tend to turn first and THEN feed in some elevator up.

2. I tend to turn left far more often than right. Maybe this is my plane because it tends to dive a lot more in a right turn and I have to give some left rudder to come out of a right turn. If I let go after a left turn it levels right out. If I let off after a right turn it takes a LONG time to level out.

I am trying to work on both , and have lots more to come.
