Default Mid Air Control

So we all know how to control the angle of thge car by using throlle imput to pivot the car mid air butr what about using steering imput for rotational movement to right the car if its all going pear shape. occasionally i get the feeling that my car does this but i dont know how or why.

I cannot find anywhere giving a how to on this but have seen plenty of vids of cars doing whips. Most in 8th buggys where the jumps are larger but the same should apply to 1/10 right?

the best i have seen is of Elliot Boots at the world last year:

Anyone know how to or have masterd this?

Im no pro, but I have practiced this. I find if you turn the steering while steady on throttle throttle together the car will roll slightly to the left or right. It can look cool if you flick steering left and right too as the car does a little left right roll

If you turn the wheels left, the left side of the car will raise and vice versa. Very useful when you have jumps/landings on corners.

4wd cars are much easier to move around in the air, 2wd more tricky.

Found another video. If you look closely the turn left to raise left seems to be true.

So have to try this next time i go to a track with a big jump. Most tracks near me seem to not have big jumps but little tabletops, not enough to whip the car out with.
