Since I've never flown a real airplane, I can't argue your 'turns and maneuvers'
statement. I know that if I bank my airplane using the ailerons and don't give it
some up elevator, it will head for the dirt. Perhaps you could tell us what the big
differences are.

In a real plane you initiate a turn by briefly banking the plane with
the ailerons and giving it a momentary touch of rudder in the desired
direction. The plane will stay banked and continue to turn until you
reverse the process. And yes, you do need to pull back on the stick or
yoke a bit to maintain altitude. Does a model behave the same way?
