Also, to level out when the airplane is flying toward you, point your aileron stick in the direction of the downed wing. Helps at first, and sooner or later you'll just know which way to point. I think flying towards yourself is one of the hardest things for a new pilot, especially because most of the landing approach is done this way and this is where most mishaps happen. If you really want to get good at flying an airplane toward yourself, just try nose in hovering on a helo. that will get your reflexes up to speed/
