Hi, I have started flying arplanes about 3 years ago with a hz super cub. I recently got my hands on a flyzone cessna 182 skylane, the smaller, red one. The first time I flew it I would barely move the right stick and the plane would be sideways. I moved the control horn to give the aerilons less throw. I'm scared to fly it again. Can anyone give me some tips on flying a 4 channel?
I am extremely good at flying the super cub and I know how an airplane reacts while in the air.

Grip the sticks between your thumb and index finger. Folks with Game-Boy in their past tend to "bang" the sticks when all that is needed is a tiny movement. Using the pinch grip can help. Us old farts use our thumbs but we grew up tuning AM radios with hairline adjustments to fine tune the station.

Ok, I'll try it. The battery turned out to be bad and only held a charge an extremely short time. I should be getting another one tomorrow or some time soon. Thanks!

Control movements should be slow and easy. To make a turn use ailerons to create a slight bank also give small amount of elevator. When done properly this will turn plane as well as maintain altitude. Some rudder could also be used but not really needed. it is considered to be co ordinated to use rudder.

Ok. Thanks!

Fly at a high enough altitude (three mistakes high) that you can get used to it too. Having a battery that will last long enough to get used to it will help as well.

I can't get high because when ever i turned it, it would stall and loose altitude.

Set the pushrods as close to center on the servo and as far from center on the control horn as possible

I already did that, but thanks anyway.
