Default RE: Where can I find instruction on how to fly?

G'day Mate,
You need to add up elevator when the nose starts to drop during a turn, but the amount of up elevator depends on the amount of bank angle, it also may need more power to overcome the drag caused by the aileron & elevator, then the elevator needs to be released, before opposite aileron is used to level the wings, so it won't balloon up after turn is complete.
Do you think you can remember all of that while you fly for the first time, or do you think that maybe, just maybe, you might be better off getting help from someone that knows how to fly.
Be aware, all I wrote above, is fine, after the plane is trimmed & set up correctly, the engine tuned so it keeps running while in the air, it has the right size prop, the aircraft is balanced properly, elevators, ailerons & rudder move in the correct direction, & move the correct amount, not too much or too little.
Do you get the point.
GET HELP. or a large amount of patience & money. & a couple of garbage bags to put the pieces in.
The best way to learn is by doing, & you can't DO, if the plane is in need of repair or replacement, all the time.
