2. After takeoff, make sure the plane touches nothing but air.
3. Keep the plane away from dirt and grass until the engine quits and it is time to land.

For your first flights hold the handle in your hand with a stiff non moving wrist and point your whole arm at where you want the model to go.

A field of the proverbial foot tall grass isn't a bad accessory either.....

Status: offline 		Rather than spinning round and round, try walking backwards in a counter clockwise circle. Easier to do and less dizzying. Also you can look beyond the plane flying and still keep track of it. If your a rank newbie at controline, fly the tank partially filled for shorter flights.
