FOR NEW PILOTS!! 


Here's a flying tip for new pilots:

Something to pay attention to when learning to fly is control reversal. Control reversal is when the inputs on the transmitter sticks must be reversed when your plane is flying toward you, rather than away from you. When flying away from you, there is no problem, just move the stick the direction you want to turn. Many new pilots become Disoriented when their plane is approaching them. To help with this, move the stick in towards the low wingtip. This will level the wing when your plane is coming toward you, avoiding a sharp bank, and possibly a crash.
Example:
Say your plane is coming toward you, and the right wingtip is low, as if banked to the right. Move the stick to your left, toward the low wingtip. This will bring the plane's right wingtip up, and level the wing. I also recommend getting Real Flight G2  if you do not have it. Practice on that before you fly an airplane or helicopter for the first time or if you have been away for an extended period of time. It WILL save you money and heartaches in the future!!
