Default RE: Keep your wings level

I won't even comment on the "no epoxy" thing, except to say USE IT!

As far as keeping your wings level.... Listen up all you newbies!!!

Getting your wings level just might PREVENT the crash in the first place!!!!!!!

I can't emphasize that strongly enough!

This - once you learn the basics - is the most important thing you must train yourself to do. Listen to the following words, and consider them to be LAW.

Anytime you get in trouble, LEVEL YOUR WINGS.

When you are learning yo fly, you still tend to think in 2 dimentions: Up Down, Left Right.

When your plane is banked at a 90 degree angle (or more) it is very easy to panic, and the first thing your brain thinks of is: PULL UP!!!

If you follow that advice, you will be picking up pieces shortly afterward.

You MUST condition your brain to think: LEVEL THE WINGS!!!

This will save more crashes than any other advice I've ever heard.
