thanxs for all of your help. at first it was hard for me to controll the plane when it was comming after me, and it was also hard to land. but after about 3 hrs. of it today i have gotten used to the plane comming at me. the only problem i have with landing now is that when the plane is high up in the sky i can't see the horizon anymore so i apply down stick and once the horrizon comes into view the plane is speeding toward the ground i apply up stick, this causes the plane to be a little jerky. I can now land the plane slowly but i just don't like how close the plane comes to the ground before crashing? do you think that in real life i would have a better perspective of where the horizon is?
