Default Electronic buddy-box release

Just finished my first training session on the sim. The wife/student was busy putting our daughter to bed, so I had to fly by myself.

The angle of the fingers took some getting used to. I tried flying with the TX turned in various angles all the way up to 90 degrees, so that I was holding it sideways in front of me at one point.

When it was getting near 90 degrees, controlling the plane was confusing. As the elevator and ailerons had shifted place (at least my fingers thought so) I flew straight into the ground a couple of times when trying to recover from steep turns and spiral dives. At that point, one could have thought it was my first flight ever.

It was a good exercise. I will definitely do it again.
