However - here's another thing to consider, it comes from full sized flying and is easier said than done to try it on RC planes. Use the rudder instead of aileron to control wing drop from such things as crosswinds. This applies especially if you are using flaperons (which are not often encountered on full sized planes). Try it up high and see!! In simplistic terms - you want to speed up the low wing to increase its lift. So if the port wing drops, apply starboard rudder to lift it. At the same time you will be turning into the wind and will introduce some side slip to get you on line for your landing - Please note - I did say it is easier said than done to train oneself to do this and often you will need to use a combination of aileron and rudder with rudder being the major input.
(For those of you that are wondering - yes I have flown a lot of vintage full sized planes but they weren't quite as vintage in those days)
The rudder tip is excellent. Ideally, when you are approaching the runway the only thing the ailerons will be doing is keeping the wings level; however, due to gusts, turbulent air, thermals, etc one wing may dip. At landing speeds with an aircraft such as a Cap 232 the rudder should always be used to counter this dipping. There's a mathematical reason why, but I won't bore you with the intricacies of it. Suffice it to say that most pilots that experience "snapping" don't heed this advice and use the ailerons.
