Default RE: Slow Learner needs help on turns

I don't know if you drive a car, but think about how you drive. When you make small turns you NEVER turn the wheel to the locks.

Also, you only need to hold hte stick in the turn for a second or two typically unless you are turning into the wind. If you HOLD the stick to the right too long, the plane will turn and bank steeper and steeper.

The T-Hawk, being a high wing plane will tend to self level, so if you find that the plane is starting to go into a dive, just recenter the sticks, even let go. if you have enough altitued, the plane will self level most of hte time.


However the tip you got above is the most important. Small stick movements and give it a chance to respond. This is not like a car where you get an instant response.

Take a look at this article written for new flyers. It may be helpful.
