"Okay, as I stradle the handle like this, if I lean to much to either side, I would fall off. This would be too much roll, but I I were flying right now and tried to make a turn without leaning into the turn, the centrifical force would trhow me off in the opposite direction of my turn. There fore you need to learn the appropriate amount of roll to use when making turns. Does that help?"
