Here's the aileron controls spelled out. Apparently my brain constantly works backwards on this. Ironically I do all right when flying, but when setting up I consistently get the ailerons reversed.
All directions are relative to facing the front of the plane. I should therefore probably say "port" and "starboard", but there's even less chance I'll get that right.
Stick motion:
Move stick to left, left aileron moves up, right aileron moves down, right wing moves up.
Move stick to right, right aileron moves up, left aileron moves down, left wing moves up.
When left wing is too low, give right stick. left aileron down, right aileron up, left wing moves up.
When right wing is too low, give left stick. left aileron up, right aileron down, right wing moves up.
