I've got a general idea regarding making a left/right turn with the SC. If someone wouldn't mind, what is the procedure and positioning of the RC controls for making a turn?

Start your turn with the stick left (for left hand turn....mirror for right) almost immediatley add some down stick to keep altitude, as you get through your turn slowly go to right stick a bit and level the plane and back to center.

when its flying away from you push the stick the way you want to go, and when its coming at you you need to remember to reverse and move the stick the opposite way you want to turn. just watch out if you turn to sharp you can stall, and thats not good. also when you turn the cub tends to lose altitude.

Something Ive read on here, push the stick towards the low wing. this way when the cub is comeing towards you you can turn w/o losing orientation. If that makes sense.
ALso, start high when turnig and only kind of tap the controls.
It gets easier
Happy fying!!

After reading ripyellowbee's post along with flying tips on several websites yesterday I practiced on my simulator last night moving the aileron control toward the dipped wing anytime the plane is flying at me. Learning this then doing it has revolutionized my flying and has really straightened out my orientation as the plane appproaches. Such a simple thing.
We have all heard of or experienced first hand the problem of RC flying in marginal to too much wind. The FS ONE simulator allows wind 4 to 30mph to be simulated. I programmed the 30mph wind and learned the airplane, Hanger 9 Alpha 40, cannot fly against this wind (remember, I am a newbie). I could keep it in the air, with much difficulty, and from crashing but the wind finally blew the plane away no matter what I did. I could have crashed it to retrieve it but there was no way to get it back onto the ground safely. I've flown in the 4-6mph range with little difficulty but prefer calm when I eventually fly the SC.

As a victim of wind i can empathise with the fact that the sc should be flown in as little wind as possible. Its so so so frustrating but the the hassle ive had where by ive thought 'ill give it a go'' is not worth it!! you just gotta be patient. I have just found a new flying site with a little sideroad and plenty of space so i can get my roll out takeoffs and landings going again!!!

Thanks, frazer,
I am fortunate in that my son-daughter-in-law built a new home on her father's dairy farm. Step out thir back door andthere is acres and acres of open land with no trees, fences or any obstructions. He hasn't put in his grass yet and I told him to leave me enough bare dirt space to take off and land. I just got to do a little more training and get my SC bought.
