Good day from a Newby South African Student Pilot

Hey again! I did not even realise that there was a type of plane - a
Jackall - nope, this was the South African Version - furry, four legs,
breathing and IN THE WAY!!! Take care all!!

And when I mentioned a fox, it was also the real furry kind, as opposed
to the kind with wings and "Kit" on the front...though I have seen a few
of those too at my airport. Fun to watch them on a windy day, so long
as you're not #2 behind one in the pattern..."Goose, too close for
missiles, I'm switching to guns". :-)

If I tell you the answer to that question, you will not learn, and that
would spoil the fun of the experiment, wouldn't it?
I will give you a clue, though... which way does your engine turn?

OK... another newby here. How do you "experiment with climbing and
decending by using only the rudder pedals" when rudder controls yaw... not
attitude?

Another thing to try that will teach rudder usage...
While flying on a calm day (or early morning/late evening) trim the
aircraft for level flight and take your hands off the yoke.
Use only your feet to turn by pushing the rudder pedals.
You can also experiment with climbing and descending by using only the
rudder pedals.

Question 2: Does anyone really benefit from a PC Flight Simulator - I
have done quite a number of hours in mine, but I found that the lack of
rudders in my sim is quite a disadvantage - I am INCREDIBLE lazy with
the rudders - especially when on final and moments after landing.
