RE: Learning
Practice practice practice. Do it over and over and over again. That's the only way to learn this stuff. And, after you think you have it down, start over and practice.... you get the idea.
Every time I go out to fly, and I mean every time, the first tank of fuel is spent doing practice landings, and practice dead sticks from all over the sky. Then, after I get through that, I will start to play around with maneuvers and aerobatics.
