Speed,

The OP is a beginner, flying a trainer. He asked whether the best way to turn that trainer is with his controls crossed. Several of us have said no, and given reasons, such as the risk of spinning if he stalls with the controls that way (not likely with a trainer, but some other kinds of models get wiped out when people do that). And trying to turn a giant scale cub with the controls crossed would get you something really ugly, even if the plane survives.You have told him he should cross his controls when turning. But you give no reason except for saying that pattern judges insist on flat turns and that he can probably get away with that. Why do you think he should do that? He isn't asking about how to fly pattern planes.
