The model should be setup as a v-tail. the right will go up to turn right. Think about airflow over the wings. Watch the short clip at Warbirds.com. Click on the Blue Angels ARF and watch the guy move his transmitter stick before he does a impressive hand launch, which I don't suggest you try if you have never done it!!!

Have you ever flown a EFD jet? If you have not, I suggest you get some help with flying and landing it. You will crash if your not a seasoned rc pilot. I have gone through several f-18s learning how to fly these planes.
