the really best tip I ever got was --when its coming at you and you have a low wing , move the sticks to the low wing to level it out and do the opposite when its going away from you , himmm or do I have that backwards ??? I know it was a good tip at the time

On the beer issues you are correct , but I plan on a light beer , so I dont forsee crashing and destroying the can , after all the way I build and fly that beer is the most valuable thing in the air
