"left goes up and right goes down"
Seconded. This seems like a more natural control scheme considering the plane's orientation.

i disagree
I emulated the control scheme I proposed by rotating the keyboard 90 degrees and guess what, I made it through all the levels by losing only one life on level 40. I never made it even close to half this before.
The problem with having up + down instead of left + right is that (like most people?) I alternate pressing up and down with only the middle finger, while I have 1 finger on each key in the left + right scheme.
Considering that it doesn't take away anything for anyone to enable this additional, arguably superior control scheme, I think this is the crucial next feature to implement.
If you have no use for left and right, I'd suggest that left goes up and right goes down, as well as the normal controls.
