Re: [RCSE] right turns?Left turns?
i have noticed that most people who DS will usually make left turns. at speeds over 150 mph with a 60" plane i am more comfortable making left turns even tho i am equally good at right turns. but most people tend to turn left. now that i think about it it just seems more natural and precise to move the stick toward the center of the transmitter than to move the stick away from the center. i think it has to do with the way the hand structure works and by your hands being to the side of the sticks. so if this is the case rt turn with the rudder stick would feel more comfortable than left rudder. paul

I wonder if it's which hand you throw with that might determine the preference for turning? There's just something natural feeling about having the plane come over your right shoulder if you throw right handed. Something about the feeling that you could bring it around and catch it in your left hand. What do the left handed throwers say? Bill Wingstedt RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

That's a hard one... I'm right handed, play guitar and shout rifles left handed. I also prefer left handed turns over right ones. Maybe its just easier for us as humans and RCers to push the stick than pull it. Wonder what the MODE 1 flyers prefer?

Re: [RCSE] right turns?Left turns?
Write lefty , throw lefty , fly fish (cast) either but always reel with the right . Fly righty simply because no one would help me when I swapped the sticks , I guess you could say I learned to crash lefty before I flew righty :) Still I'd have to say I'm a little more comfortable turning left , maybe it's a north-south hemisphere thing .

Re: [RCSE] right turns?Left turns?
As a right handed mode 1 flyer a left turn is what occurs most naturally though I have no difficulty thermaling in either direction. Enough brain power is comsumed trying to stay in the thermal that little natural instinct remains, this may or may not be the secret to those missed times Craig. - Original Message - From: Mark Wales To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2001 4:48 AM Subject: Fwd: [RCSE] right turns?Left turns?

Jim - Original Message - From: Clifford Schwinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RCSE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 8:09 PM Subject: [RCSE] flying question While flying in the ECHLC contest last week I noticed something about a habit I seem to have developed. I seem to be able to circle my sailplanes better when flying in a left-hand circle as opposed to flying in a right-hand circle. I never really noticed this habit before the ECHLC - probably 'cause until recently I flew poorly no matter which way I was turning. Now I really seem to be in a groove when I turn left, but I feel like I'm fumbling all over the place when I turn right. There was flight where I chucked my Lil' Bird right into a thermal and started circling right. As the plane started climbing I said to myself, oops, I'm turning in the wrong direction, whereupon I proceeded to fly out of the thermal to change the direction of my turn. I was unable to work my way back into the bubble of rising air and I had a short flight. It was then that I realized that my tendency to prefer circling left was not only a habit, it was a bad habit! I know that I can overcome this bad habit with practice, but I am wondering if I will always have a preference to turn in one direction as opposed to another. Do any of you other glider guiders also have a favored turn direction? Cliff RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
