michaelthewannabe,
Whilst I'm sure what you say is very valid, I didn't find it a problem when I was self teaching myself to "kind of" handle a flexwing. The weightshift control is very intuitive and the ground steering is just like the soapbox type go-carts I made as a kid. The problem I had was with the throttle control. It was a car type foot accelerator attached to the front wheel steering bar. It wasn't very progressive and along with steering, I seemed to either give it all or nothing. This ended up in a few hard landings, the last of which caused a ferrell to pull through on the axle support cable. I'd worked up to taking off, flying around a very large field at about 50-100' and landing again. I did this many times, until my landings started to deteriorate. I gave up at that point ... which in hindsight was a very wise decision
. At no point did I revert to type, and there were a few moments of stress. My biggest surprise was how quickly the bar needed pulling back on take off, to stop the AofA getting silly
One day I might learn properly, but to be honest, I really think I'm a confirmed three axis man
