Crash


Based on what you are telling us, my conclusion is that you are not flying the plane… the plane is flying you! You are following the plan rather than flying the plane

The instructor and buddy box advice is top notch. If that is not a convenient option invest in a decent flight sim. The key to getting the most out of a sim is resisting the temptation to treat it as a video game, and just yank and bank around the sky. Fly disciplined circuits so you learn to get ahead of the plane and put it exactly where you want it, when you want it rather than just keeping it from crashing.
Just like in full scale aviation you need a flight plan. Think about your flight before you fly and map out a bit of a routine and try to fly it.(Way easier said then done)Strive to fly at a controlled altitude inside an imaginary box. When landing, I always tell my student pilots to imagine a window at the end of the runway, and their goal is to fly through that window on every pass. When you can steer your aircraft through that window every time, landing just becomes a matter of throttling back.

My last bit of advice if you love to build is. Build a Sig Kadet Sr. It is by far the best trainer for you based on what you are telling me. You will have no trouble flying it, and it will give you the time to relax and will help your confidence immensely ….
Model flying is just like full scale moving away from a trainer before your ready is a sure fire way to fail. In modeling there seems to be a stigma attached to flying a trainer and every new flyer wants to move to a cooler plane sooner than he/she should. The fail safe recipe for model aviation success is high wing trainer, mid wing trainer, low wing trainer.

A excellent way to know when you are ready to move away from your high wing trainer is when one of the regulars at your club say’s “Come out to the flight line with me and you can try my plane I think you are ready for a plane like this”.
