Basic Skils: Turns using rudder
Another thread got me interested in the turn skill, and I looked up "how to turn" on youtube, came across a video by alishanmao. Wow, I now think I never knew anything about how to turn a plane!!! Practiced the technique/s in RealFlight and made large improvements in control in just two days.
The combination of rudder + aileron was different between planes. On the Albatros, you almost have to use both aileron & rudder in same direction. Switch, Electristar, you need opposite rudder & aileron to successfully turn. I would expect this to be true for physical models as well.
A common problem I've been having is keeping the plane close in. With a tighter turn, it is easier to do that! Looking forward to practicing this in real life
