I remember two assessments of the Phantom.
1. With enough thrust a brick will fly.
2. It has the glide rate of a man hole cover, on edge.
Yes, but it will get you home.

Up and down shouldnt be a problem, but left and right will drive me crazy.Well, down is a problem because that's the direction that re-kits 'em. Har har...
Seriously, take off with the plane going away from you, then left is left and right is right. After you get some altitude, do everything s l o w l y, and you will receive at least a small amount of forgiveness with the left, right, up and down.
Now, here's a trick that helped me immensely with the hard part...landing. Land with the plane coming toward you and with you facing the plane. Left and right will be the opposite of your take off, but empty your mind of such confusing thoughts and just move the stick to the LOW wing to level it. No left and right involved that way.
Worked for me.

Thanks for the helpful hints.

Some people learn to land by sort of turning their back to the landing approach and looking at the plane over their shoulder. That normalizes the rudder and aileron left/right commands, if that makes it easier.

With the CG far enough aft the tail provides lift instead of downforce that the wing must support. Helps the gas mileage.

Look at the F-16. The leading edge flaps were originally designed to be 4 inches foward from what you see here. They were moved back for improved performance with the flight control computer making hundreds of adjustments every second to keep the pilot unaware.

I don't know how it flies but what impresses me the most is that these guys, like others in the RC aircraft groups, build these high performance jets themselves.........That in itself is amazing........
There's lots of videos out there taken at different RC air shows and I highly recommend watching them........

I've been flying crashing RC planes for some time
My brother, who died tragically back in 2001, had been an RC aircraft enthusiast all his life and built and flew his planes with a group in Missoula, Montana.

I wouldn't let that stop you, that's a big part of the fun.
When my brother lived in Venice, Fla, he belonged to an RC club and made his own planes. He once told me that on a day his club was flying, he accidentally flew his plane out of RC range and it continued to fly out into the swamps, never to be found...........LOL!
