Gale155,
I apologize for the breech of etiquette there.
Took the A-10 out for a short flight, was actually more than a little nervous. Flew 1 track, missed the approach (descending too quickly). Came around again, missed the approach again (started my turn too early). Finally got it the 3rd time, came down just a little hot but no damage.
I guess laws of physics are the same. Banking the wing in a turn causes the nose to drop on both the model and big Hoggive it a little pull back on the stick and a little power.
I have to admit the biggest thing I had problems with was which way to roll to get wings level when the aircraft is coming at you (wrecked at least $2000 worth on the simulator).
Someone gave me a piece of advice that might come in handy - when the plane's coming at you, move the stick towards the wing you want to raise. I decided that the phrase "stickup" would help me to remember this.
