...when flying the Fokker Dr 1? I've now reached the stage where I can just about persuade the beast to turn left without going sideways (a bootful of left rudder), but once it starts turning, I seem to be engaged in a frantic stick-stirring exercise to keep it there. Though it is sometimes easier to do a 270-degree right turn than a 90-degree left one, I'd like eventually to be able to make tight left turns without having to shove the stick into every corner of the cockpit. Is there a proper technique for making what looks even approximately like a controlled turn, rather than a fist-fight between man and machine? Any advice welcome (except for 'find an easier hobby...')
