Default Now that I can roll in circles.

Now that I can roll in circles, I have trouble rolling straight. I assume everybody will say burn gas . But am looking for suggestions.

Make sure that you have mixed out all coupling issues with your plane. If the coupling still exists, it will tend to pull the plane in a circle. After that, it's just a matter of timming. To do a rolling circle, you are doing your inputs either ahead, or behind, the inputs needed to roll straight, depending on which way you are rolling.

Master the slow roll. This will help you with learning exactly which input the plane needs to stay in a straight path, a rolling circle, or even a rolling loop.

i am really new to this but i watch the canopy for the up elevator input....rollling right, turning left...let the canopy rotate farther before you pull and it should go straight..too much and it will start turning right. if this is a bad habit someone please chime in.
