Here's a tip if you think everything is the wrong way round, in a weight shift.
Imagine you are the stick!!
Push yourself back ( you are the stick) the nose rises above the horizon
Pull yourself forward ( you are the stick) the nose drops below the horizon
You go left ( you are the stick ) the aircraft rolls left etc etc It works.
I first flew weight shift in 1977 in the South of France, before gaining my PPL.
Here is a pic of me in 1997 over Vic Falls, 20 years later. I now have fixed and rotory ratings but have always tried different experiences of flying from Gliders to Hot Air Balloons. All this from a love of being in the air.
As a teenager I started in parachuting, as it was the cheapest way into the skies, which is how I eventually got into aviation.
Doen't really matter what you fly as long as you enjoy it!
