I think you will learn everything with experience, but my tip would be to NEVER ever use the stupid hover mode and etc., or you will get killed a lot. You can fly with Route mode outside the combat zone, but when you're in it, have the 3 default channels on + the FD/AP and just fly manually. (I don't use the Rudder Trim option, but have the Center Trim option checked, I think it works best).
