Default RE: NEED HELP!

Hey so if you can't get help with your first flights, use that sim with your radio as much as possible. Take the plane up at a GENTLE climb (most new guys seem to like to yank back on the stick, dangerously close to stall conditions!) and get PLENTY of altitude. Take it slow and high.

A good thing to practice on the sim: if you get disoriented, or in a crazy position with the plane, pull back on the throttle! Nothing worse than heading down at full throttle. This will give you time to figure out what's going on, then you can correct and DON'T FORGET to throttle up again when you're in control.

It took me a couple of crashes to get in this habit; now it's second nature.
