Default RE: Teaching a friend to fly on a super cub

Yeah, Gene.. that's a good one. I used that and it was used on me. Another is to point the antenna in the direction of flight - well, in the general direction meaning if it's going right to left then tilt the antenna tip to the left and steer accordingly. That also works with it coming toward you too.. just tilt it to the rear a bit and steer accordingly. What's good with these little crutches is that as soon as "it clicks", you get the idea and muscle memory begins to set in and it begins to come naturally.

The problem I have is when I lay off for a little while, the muscles take some work to get them to follow my eyes. That's why I use my first tank to re-teach myself to fly. And, another great reason to never get rid of the trainer. It really pays off on those flights where you are trying to rub off the rust.. getting back to basics with a basic flyer.
