Always face the direction the plane is facing. Even if you have to stand at a station where you fly, face the way the plane is facing, and look over your shoulder. This also works when learning to fly, and you won't have a problem with control reversal when the plane turns toward you.
Point yourself, and the antenna the way the plane is travelling.
there are lots of people (including myself) who recommend strongly against this. the plane can react much quicker then you can spin yourself around. just learn to deal with the control issues first.
Huh? [X(]
"Lots of people"? Well I got "lots of people" that say it's the only way, sorry.
To each his own, I guess, but if you got that kind of problem (plane twisting around faster than you can) you got major problems, and nothing is going to save you, er, it.
I have used this method to teach MANY students, and they learn to fly way faster, and get the "control issues" under control sooner than later.
Try it Bingo, you'll like it.
