Antonyall... I agree with everyone when they suggest a sim. Spending time and lots of it on the sim really gives you the stick/plane movements. There's really nothing like flying but the sims DO give you a lot of help.

The only other suggestion I would strongly make is to find a field, dry lake or a huge flat area to fly in. Make sure it's not surrounded by people or things. If you can find something like that, it'll give the the advantage of pointing your plane into the wind for landings and takeoffs, no matter the wind direction. Standing directly behind your airplane when taking off gives you the opportunity to see exactly what the airplane is doing. It also lets you get the feel left/right up/down while watching it from a pilots point of view and not a sideways kind of view that most people learn from.

When landing, make sure your airplane is pointing directly into the wind. Light, steady breezes can actually help slow your plane down and make it more controllable, as long as it's pointed directly into the wind. Again, if you've got that large, large area to fly in, try slowly flying it past you so you're directly behind it when you land.

When a person is first learing how to fly, the first thing they think of when the plane is airborn, is the landing. The landing is enevatible. This is easier said than done, but once your plane is in the air, concentrate on flying it smoothly. These will be the same stick movements you'll need when you land. So take the time to enjoy learning how to fly while you're flying and worry about landing when it's time to land.

Good Luck!
