Default RE: I Totally Just Figured It Out!!

I wasn't giving him a hard time... I just couldn't wrap my mind around the explaination... Maybe in practice it's easier to grasp... btu I found myself THINKING way too much to figure out what direction the rudder stick went in realtion to the wehich wing and which idrection

Was trying ot figre out how the to of the wing vs bottom of the wing view helped in determining which rudder to apply...

And it seemed more thinking required to work it out...

1) Which side of the plane am I looking at
2) Which wing should I fly
3) What direction does that wing need to go
4) What dorection rudder input will do that


Wouldn't a more simplistic way of stating this be:


When looking at the top of the plane, the rudder stick goes opposite the direction of plane's travel "PULL the stick away from the direction of travel"

When looking at the bottom of the wing the rudder stick goes the same direction of plane's travel "PUSH the stick the same direction of travel"


Then you only have two questions:

1) What side of the plane am I looking at
2)Which direction rudder do I input


What do you guys think?
