Thanks Dave
My question is once you learn on a trainer with the rudder and elevator on the right isn't it a problem to switch to 3D with elevator and Ailerons on the right. When you try to turn the rudder it starts doing , I guess ,barrel rolls. Wouldn't it be better if the trainer was set up like the 3D minus the Ailerons or 3D like a trainer with the Ailerons? Maybe rudder elevator on right and Throttle Ailerons on left. Just asking! Thanks again Ron

I believe I mentioned, it is really no problem. You are describing a system with no ailerons, throttle on the left, rudder & elevator on the right. It is no problem for students to switch from that setup to a 4-channel setup with ailerons on the right, rudder on the left stick.

Which makes me want to ask, have you flown either?

After you've done it, I believe you'll have no worries about the process.

Good luck,
Dave Olson
