Default RE: Fustrated at trying to learn how to fly on a simulator

Learning to fly rc is like learning to ride a bike. It takes some time to program your movements to be automatic and you will get bruised up a few times before you get it down pat. When you learn to fly smoothly you will not be thinking about how you will move the sticks you just will, just like when you learned to ride a bike well you never though about how to lean into turns and how much to turn the handlebars, Flying is a little more difficult because you can't feel the turn you have to imagine the turn by your visual references of the plane. All These new experiences takes time to learn so don't beat yourself up. I took me 4 weeks of flying 4 times a day for 3 days at a time to learn the basics. Repetition in quick successions is best so that you do not have to relearn past lessons lost too you through inactivity
