<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" color=#008080 size=2>It is so basic
as was earlier mentioned but a necessary building block for successful pattern
flying. At a contest a knowledable flier pointed out he felt I wasn't
keeping my wings level in my flight. He watched me rudder inputs and correctly
deduced that I was indeed flying one wing low. He also test flew the plane and
it flew better for him. Wings level makes it easier to stay ahead of your
plane.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Highly interesting. A former pattern flyer from near
here, who won Masters a the Nats a few years ago, had a habit of flying at
least one practice flight that consisted of nothing but straight and
level passes, one after the other, with a simple turnaround at each end.

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I wanted to pass along an
observation about flying that may seem obvious to some, but time &
time again amazes me. In D7 we've already had two contests.
The best flyers in each class (sportsman, intermediate, advanced,
Masters, FAI) fly the fundamental element of our equation the best -
straight and level flight. You can't escape it... Resistance
is futile... If you are having problems with your sequence (who
among us does not?) take a weekend and practice straight & level
flight at low, mid, and top of the box with some simple turnaround
maneuvers and a friend standing beside you calling wing low/high/
whatever. Then work into flying the sequence with some one calling
wing low/high throughout each maneuver. I recently went through this
and it provided a whole new look. The result is that I also needed
to relearn most of the rud! der corrections because I had worked into a
habit of having the inside wing low. The sequence is getting better
now and I'm very glad a friend and I stripped the flying down to this
fundamental. If we don't learn this, we will never reach our
potential.</SPAN></FONT></P>
