Ok thanks for replying guys. I have set all the controls to what you said are the standard.

2slow2matter, to reply to your question of why I would ever invert stuff - I wouldnt. Im using an Esky controller, and the default had half the stuff inverted at the start, so I wanted to correct it to the right orientation. Dunno why it started off like that. Its fixed now tho.

MasterAlex, thanks for the link. I don't have an instructor tho, don't have too much time to commit to the hobby during semester. Will try to read up about bad habits in rc flying you speak of.

hogflyer, Ive set all the controls to what you stated. Thanks for that, and yeah I am having a hard time when the plane comes toward me but hopefully that will pass with time as you said.

Thanks for explanation of controls flyX. Im majoring in AE (senior) so I know all the math, but seeing it in action is lot better

Anyway, Ive been flying the models for over an hour (and crashed a lot a so far). I think I can get addicted to this

Thanks again for the help guys.
