RE: Getting back into flying...need some help
yes, you are right.
Or you can switch the servos and fly with only the right stick (which is the same as flying with ailerons except you are using a rudder instead)
Your best bet is to get a RTF deal that comes with a sim cable for your computer and practice flying with ailerons.
It actually is easier to fly with ailerons than with rudder.
Turn right= give a little right aileron and a little up elevator. left turn=left aileron and up elevator. (up elevator maintains altitude while turning and tightens up your turn)
