Hi Rob2160
I like your last sentence. When I was teaching R/C flying we called it "Go for the low wing". And of course we are referring to when the plane is coming toward you during a landing and one wing dips. To level the plane "go for the low wing", which means move the aileron stick toward the low wing. I have known 2 full scale pilots who were learning R/C by themselves. They crashed at every landing attempt until they were taught "go for the low wing". This was before flight simulators.
