When I started flying R/C the goal was to go home with the plane in one piece... Then the goal transitioned to good landings... Then the goal morphed into lots of fun flying and burning up the sky and of course, burning lots of fuel.<BR>

That was the easy part. Starting to fly pattern for the first time was difficult. Practice was difficult, time was difficult and here is the kicker- finding a buddy to be there and criticize was VERY difficult. That's what makes all of us better. Not that we practice but we practice what our callers are saying doesn't look right. Get a good caller and practice buddy and you will be motivated to get out and make those loops a perfect circle, have the 45 degree angles nailed... Establish good geometry.<BR>
