Yup. That's absolutely correct. Experience = burn fuel It differs with each plane, as to how much rudder and elevator to use in a turn, and what your turn rate is to be. Slow purposeful maneuvers, watching the plane as you input controls, and understanding what's happening is the key. The understanding thing usually lags the learning the control inputs, but comes with time and of course, the more you fly (burn fuel) the more you become more in control of what's going on and the more you understand how it works.
