I don't like them either. Or spins, or stalls, or aerobatics. I like to fly in straight lines on a nice day over beautiful countryside to another airfield, and do the same thing going home again. Boring, that's me. Helicopters are different; I like to play in them, but still nothing too exciting please.

Let's face it, when are you going to actually need a steep turn? Rarely. The only time I can think of is if you need to turn sharply to avoid another aircraft that's appeared out of nowhere. So make sure you can do them....then keep a good lookout and you won't ever have to.
