We are glad you did too. We can help you along as you learn to fly your new plane and get involved in this hobby that we all love.

Ok.. well, first off, let me say this: You are not "reversing the controls" when the plane is flying toward you. Well, what I mean is, you are flying the plane, not vice versa. Everything you do is with reference to the plane.
Gotcha. That's what i meant... guess Iexpressed in incorrectly.

Put it on the ground and stand behind it and operate the controls. If it has ailerons, learn what direction the surfaces move when you move the aileron stick to the left, and then to the right. What we try to ingrain in our students is that, when standing behind the plane, right stick moves the right aileron UP. If you learn this ONE THING, you will never have a reversed aileron control.
No ailerons on this plane. There will be on the next one.

Meanwhile, ask away. We will give you whatever help we can.

CGr.

Much appreciated. And Iwill look into instruction.
