Well you guys were right

just got back and what a blast! felt just like rudder only i had a lot more control and actualy felt more stable

im actualy pleased i learnt on rudder though for the reason above as i know i could bring a ship in safely on rudder only

tnx for your help guys u dont know how much easyier it was on the field today after your comments, all take off's and landings were first class on the hole a damn good day ...

only thing was on the first landing the plane must have kicked a stick up or a lump of sheep dung as when i went to get the plane the was a hole in the top of the tail plane ... but once i had got my head round ailarons i wasnt worried just refueld and up she went again LOL, maybe i shouldnt have but hey its only a old plane if she went in it would just make more room in the hanger

tnx again guys

happy landings!
