Excellent , thanks. After the tree incident I found myself doing exactly that (moving the sticks the way I would move them) I was watching plane VERY closely then. This was my first lesson and I did get caught off guard a couple of times.

I think I'm going to go over why I never had to move the sticks when I took control with Him to kinda get around the "over-controlling" tendency. He doesn't know that I never had to make a correction for him. I may also reduce rudder throw some too , it may help.
