My goal for this year was to get the tail into the grass as much as I could. I can hover low and torque roll but I need to practice harriers and steering them around. I can't really steer my harriers around at all.

There's going to be a pile of sim time this winter and a bunch of Pluma flying too. Stick time, stick time, and even more stick time!
Hey Tyler,
steering harriers around is a bit counter intuitive I guess. The trick is to get the plane in a good deep stall, that stabilizes the wings, less rocking. Then it's all rudder for steering and the ailerons just keeping the wings relatively level. Strange thing is, in a tight left harrier turn, you will likely need to have full right aileron in there for a bit!
