Thank you that is very helpful advice supported by great video simulator evidence to back it up. Much appreciated.

[@graeson8769]

You make it look so easy on the sticks. I find it hard to control the throttle when applying rudder input, and yes, also when the plane is flying towards me. More training sessions on the simulator (Real flight 9.5) before I got out and fly

[@DontWatchProductions]

I practiced using rudder with one of the electric trainers in the sim. I would practice flat spins holding full rudder increasing throttle, and using ailerons to hold the plane level. I got to where I could land the plane at full throttle in a flat spin. The 3d planes are good for rudder practice even if you don't fly them because they have a lot of rudder authority.

If I look cool crashing, then at least I did one thing right.

[@sheryljohnson7649]

Wonderful. Idea. Thanks❤️✈️

[@syoung6126]

Great stuff. Thanks!

An 8 year old video that will never go out of date. Great advise, many thanks.

[@thedoeverything418]

i know! my dad told me that one time an old guy nearly hit me when i was watching out at the old feild! i was 4, now 11, i use the rudder all the time! especially low rolling harriers lol, nice vid

[@DKoppJr]

Excellent content!! thumbs up and Sub!!

[@D4mations]

Best video I’ve seen on controlling the airplane .

[@traviscozza7177]

This is the exact type if video I was hoping to find! I have been flying since my teens and I'm 41 now and have never really used my rudder other than for taking off. I've come to know I was missing out on so much and needed some basic info and here it is! Thank you so much for the perfect type of explanation.

[@marcwibble7949]

That was great. I loved the crash / you'll look cool doing it comment!

[@ncscoobysnack]

rudder would be easier to use if it wasn't on the same stick as the throttle. I have troubles keeping the throttle position when using rudder.

[@flyingrcdotnet]

Throttle control comes with practice. Just think how awkward it would be if we added a third stick. Kraft (decades ago) used to make a radio that had one "wheel/stick" that controlled elevator, aileron a d rudder. Throttle was on a slider by your other hand. Good idea but it never caught on very much perhaps because of the learning curve to rid yourself of stick-related habits.

[@ncscoobysnack]

@@flyingrcdotnet Maybe I allso need my throttle to have more friction to move it. But probably more training would help yes :)

Brilliant instructional video. Not easy to grasp without this kind of vital instruction.

[@Colin_Holloway]

The biggest leap forward in my airplane rudder use came after I learned to hover an RC Helicopter nose in.

[@yzScott]

I was just going to say, learn to fly a heli with a heading lock gyro and you'll get really strong on rudder in a hurry.

[@smokeymcbongwater3561]

Thanks for info my rutterskils suck

[@williamlavigne7605]

Great video

[@bjrnvictorslette2426]

I watched the first ten seconds. Got inspired grsbbed my motorglider. Ran out, and planted it a foot deep in the field. My shortest and most costly flight so far. Went inside, grabbed my coffe and watched the rest of the video. That saved my day:D

[@daveroche4527]

I combine the rudder and ailerons with every flight, it makes me look more professional.

[@JoseRodriguez-ef2yx]

Very Helpful Thank you for taking the time to put it together for everyone 😀🙏🛩

[@rcchronicles25]

Excellent video! Really useful and well described!

[@mr.fredricklawngtawnghedav5094]

I need these tips

[@royd7984]

I doubt that I'll look very cool when I crash, but I'll keep that in mind anyway. Really enjoy your videos. Very helpful. Thanks.

[@gregpopp4847]

Very informative video. I watched it a few years ago and I try to apply these techniques every time I land. I wouldn't last long at this field - flying to me requires SOLITUDE.

[@warmiceUT]

Actually I have problems with rudder, partly because I were a old timer on RC car using sticks Tx (not pistol Tx).. Where my brain is well trained using my right hand for steering... Thus when I start flying in recent years, switching to use left hand for steering/turning very much conflict with my "instinct" from driving RC cars... I wandering, what if I swap the rudder and aileron, which mean rudder on right hand side, and aileron on left hand side... Would any pilot doing this kind of setup?

[@xuau208]

it is not usually used but you can change roll stick and rudder stick by changing mode on your tx, a personal setting

[@dbowman8580]

Great video

[@andrelafreniere8604]

This is a great RC KZbin video. Thanks

[@P6dave]

Very helpful.

[@roddraym]

Greatly appreciated! Thank you

[@Gdogcamper]

It’s very helpful thanks!

[@matt79hz]

Wow what's that software. Great video !

[@smokeymcbongwater3561]

Awsame video

[@FedericoCorradi]

which simulator/program are you using?

[@flyingrcdotnet]

That was Real Flight from a bunch of years ago. Not sure of what version that was.

[@georgegesualdi432]

Great video, thank you for taking the time to put it together.
