Default RE: Aielron Control - Very Discouraged!

Master the proceedure truns. it'll set you up to make a path over the runway on top of banking left and right without loosing altitude.
Then slow it down so you get use to sluggish controls. You'll get use to backing off of the throttle after completing the truns.

On some models (floaters) you actaully have to froce the model down before it ever comes near the runway, and it'll keep on flying
if you have too much speed.

It takes a while for you to learn get use to just WOT....then just turn the stick down and glide her in.
Slightly rasie the nose to reduces speed and flair her in. I'm bascailly dead sticking it...with the engine on idle as
a back up, incase i need to bail.

It happens really fast..I just do it without thinking too much about it.


I've never actaully had to use a self righting trainers. I had an Avistar
My problem as a newbie was...I flicked the sticks due to playing video games.
Bascailly my instructor would stand next to me and tell me to stopped flicking the sticks... constantly
So I've learnd to keep my thumb on the sticks at all times from the get go. (piont and go)
I've never waited for the model to correct itself.
