Default RE: The most common beginner flying mistakes

Hi All, Great advise/tips!! Which you do get here at RCU!!

When I started the biggest thing was control reversal, Which I corrected
pretty much on my second time up by slightly turning(me and transmitter)
in the same direction the plane is flying.. The second was "jerking" the
sticks, I was using just my thumbs at tops of sticks. So I went to the thumb
and finger, which completely made for better control.. And I would have to
say the next thing Was myself!!... When I made a bad/incorrect move I
would get too nervous/over thinking... Which was not good for me!! Calm
down!! If you can't while in the air, give control back to trainer and take
a break..
Make small stick movements.... Control the sticks from one movement to
the next, No tapping and releasing the sticks!! Remember, When you move
the sticks in a direction, You have to counter the same amount in the
opposition to get the plane back to level..
