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?

More or less. I use my rudder very little, unless there's a side wind. But a little
up elevator is a necessity to maintain the same altitude.


Are you going to put up another set of 30-40 posts today about your toy
model airplanes? How about mixing in some golf, RV, hillbilly music,
steel ammo posts, just for, oh, variety? And perhaps a few about your
surgeries, past, present, and future...
