Here is a lots to learn Newbie!
Slowly getting to grips with a Mavic Air - fantastically complicated but I love it...except for one little thing. For the last 60 years I have found that if you push the stick forwards the nose moves in a downward direction, and vice versa if you pull. I'm too old to change the habits of a lifetime so a change of Mode in RC settings fixed it. CSC to start the motors is different (left stick top left corner, right stick bottom right). OK I know that in a fixed wing aircraft the result of stick movements is not quite the same. Have I done a daft thing?
I have learned a lot from the daily forum posts - keep them coming!

@ajbeer welcome to the forum,after all the years of pull back to climb ,push forwards to descend ,it would be very hard to change that way of thinking ,the fact that it has meant a change of stick movement to CSC is not really an issue just use the take off icon on the screen instead

Welcome to the forums. Under settings, there are different profiles that allow you to choose different settings with the controller. Look there and see if there is a profile that makes sense to you.

Welcome from Chicago the Windy City. Been to the Highlands, have had the privilege to meet some super nice people. Your never to old to learn. Here is a tip for you, face the direction your camera is facing. If, you want it to fly left. Turn your whole body left, same thing if your drone goes right turn your whole body right in the same direction the camera is facing. This will help you to gain confidence, while your gaining experience. Another tip, don't push any buttons if you don 't know what they do. Especially with RTH, if setting not correct, you could end up crashing your Bird. Hope I did not give unwanted advise. Fly Safe and Have fun.
