Default How to be easy on stick?

Well,

I tought my brother to fly/land in 3 flights. Tought him on a stick 60 size plane. He is excellent at video games so his reaction time is high. I just had to give him some flight school on the ground first, going over what he's oing to do wrong and how to correct that habbit. Showed him the CORRECT turn on the ground first, then off we went... He was doing figure 8s on his 2nd flight.
On the 3rd I had him practice getting lined up for landing.. his 3rd approach ws so perfect I cut the throttle and told him to fly it to the ground.. Perfect landing...


Basically... Keep up the good work, you'll get it and it just takes a little practice and gentle movements...

If you imagine driving a car.. you typically speaking move the wheel very slightly, and turns are normally slower... When flying you now need to imagine that that 2" left to right is equal to the full 2 revolutions the car wheel can turn.. You normally don't need to rotate your car wheel 2 full revolutions to make a turn... same applies to the plane here.


practice practice practice.. tis the only way to become proficiant
