To the intermediate pilots. During the 1 1/4 spin at the end of the box how far toward the end is everyone performing this manuver? I ask because it seems I'm pushing it way to far out after the cross box and stall turn. Once the stall turn is compelete the goldfish is way in the back and seems wrong. Should I move it in closer after the stall turn before the goldfish? Should I reduce the crossbox line after the spin? Any inputt would be appreciated.

I don't go too far when doing the spin. That way it is easier to see and fly the Hammerhead. My straight line cross-box is very short. Don't worry about the long time it takes to get from one end of the box to the other - it gives me time to think and prepare for the Goldfish. Have fun!

I am with flyfalcons on this one. There is no need to get really far. The only point I may add, the goldfish does not need to be very far also. I used to place it right after the center of the box since the goldfish is a rather large figure, it does not seem too near of the center and this also make the flyby shorter and look better.

Thanks for the replies. So after the 1 1/4 perform a very short cross line and pull vertical for the hammerhead. Short being like a hesitation marking the two maneuvers. Than perform the goldfish about mid right quadrant not to far. I will try it. The Tucson shootout is not going to allow any mistakes to do well so I'm trying to prepare for that first round. Hopefully Im not first to fly.
