Default Rubbish Turning

Turning is the most essential skill right after takeoff and landing. Assuming you have a full house setup, ailerons, rudder, elevators and throttle just be as you would be on your wedding night - gentle. Start your turn with the rudder and follow almost immediately with a slight input from the ailerons. The stall speed of any aircraft lessens dramatically in direct proportion th the angle of bank. When the nose starts to drop feed in a small amount of elevator, emphasis on small. Coordination is the key and nothing replaces practice. If you are a bowler you will understand that part immediately. Don't be in a big hurry unless you are as old as I am. There's a lot of open sky and time to enjoy it.
