This is probably just muscle strain or something but does this happen to anyone else? do you recommend I start doing hand exercises like a stress ball or something? I do hold the wheel pretty tightly though.
This only happens when I fly so I doubt it is arthritis or something.
I'm 18 so ***?
Sounds like it's just some anxiety related muscle issue,,try to relax and don't tense up on the controls. You'll feel the plane much better if you lighten your grip and relax.
