Controlling the airplane is simple, but difficult to master. Tap in a rhythm to keep it flying in mostly a straight line. Hold and tap to help it gain altitude. However, if you hold too long your plane will start looping and usually crash. To regain forward momentum, fly up until your plane becomes upside-down and facing to left, then release and tap as soon as the plane is pointing to the right. This flip will result in an increase in your forward momentum.
