Default RE: I dont know?

I had a student last spring who self taught himself on his flight sim. When he started flying my trainer he kept nosing the plane down in every turn. I found out he learned with the elevator reversed and it took a good dozen flights to train him to pull back on the elevator stick to go up, not push it forward (he tried to get me to reverse my elevator so he could fly the way he had learned [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]- that didn't happen!).

I highly recommend correcting the elevator on the flight sim and fly the heck out of it so you get the muscle memory ingrained before you start flying the model (with the elevator set properly). If you let somebody else fly it with a reversed elevator who knows how to fly....I'll let you imagine the end result.
