Hi,
To be honest with you....you need to go find just one good instructor to help you out with your new models. I fly Airtronics and Spectrum. And with the way I was told...you do not need to turn around to figure out what to do if a model drops a wing.
Simple.....
With the model coming directly at you or even at a angle...push the aileron stick towards the lower (or down) wing to raise it level again. ..or to initiate a turn or change direction.
The new electronics today is so far removed from you're Galloping Ghost day's I don't even know where to begin. If you can get an old set of RCM training books...it will really improve your learning curve. They can still be found and worth the effort to find them...or any books about the basics of flying RC.
Its a fun hobby....I've been in it for 65 years.
Soft Landings Always,
