Hi There,

Interesting to read all this. I am a self taught motor-glider pilot who has just got a small World Models electric Piper Cub with a view to learning 4 channel then moving to a much nicer 4 channel glider.

Mike East was suggesting using rudder for directional change. I have been flying around with my new 4 channel not really using rudder at all.

The last few flights I was practicing a shallower banked turn and then using rudder and then bank to level at end of turn.

Could some of you experienced guys give me some tips on what I should be doing to progress my flying.

As for landing, I am just practising lining up at a lower and slower speed. Normally I have been coming in at 2/3 throttle at 3-5 metres, dropping to 1/3 throttle and at 1 foot cutting throttle and riding ground effect. However I am surprised how much speed the cub can maintain and almost overshoot 10-15 metres my touchdown.

Look forward to your suggestions.
