FLYING TIPS FOR THE NOVICE......
Takeoff: If you are piloting an RC glider or plane its always best to take off into the wind. If you take off into the wind it will generally lift your aircraft up up and away.

In flight: Once you have your baby gliding through the heavens you'll want to check the trim on the rudder and elevator. Sometimes the plane will slurr to one side, this can be quickly corrected here.
Strong Winds: Strong winds are very challenging for the novice and also the experienced. But they can be very thrilling too.

When your aircraft flies into the wind, if its making little ground then be prepared for a sudden burst of speed and power when you pilot away from the wind.

Also be prepared to point your nose up higher to gain altitude when flying down wind.
Landings: Landings can be hairy... If possible try to land with your nose pointed into the wind. The plane will gently float down to the ground.

If you land with the nose pointed away from the wind be prepared for a head banger of a time.
