Bob Burton Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Centering the sticks is usually a good start to sorting out most "what the Hell is going on ?" situations. You will often get clues as to which direction the model is going in and how it is responding, if at all, which is a good start. Even if you don't then you are in a good position to cautiously enter some deliberate commands, usually rudder or aileron, as you then know how the model should respond Once orientation is sorted you can then start to decide how to proceed. Throttle up/throttle down/elevator up/elevator down any/all of them will have an expected outcome. Whether or not the model responds in the way expected will tell you a lot about the problem and how it should be handled Whilst the process can be described, what happens in practice is that there is often not much time to think about it and experienced flyers take the necessary action by instinct, hence the original "How did you know what to do ?"
