One more quick item here.. In an aileron turn, the roll begins then the elevator is pulled in a bit to control the turn rate, the nose drops. So, I add throttle (a few clicks is all that's needed) and the nose stays where it's supposed to be.. then after the turn is complete, reverse the action by starting with the removal of elevator, then the aileron reversal to get wings level, then remove throttle.. this should result in a straight and level reversal of direction (if on a race-track pattern) without a change in altitude.
I would have to presume that this is a practiced thing and will take some time to remember the steps.. but will come natural after a few tanks have been burned making boring (yet useful) race track pattern flights... which I do anyways, and tell people that after being away from this for a couple of weeks, I have to relearn how to fly..
Ok, and thanks again.
