RE: My suggestion to increase pattern participation
Dana,
You are probably right. I have been told more than once that I fly a little too fast. So many times I feel rushed trying to keep everything within the box. Flying further out makes the box bigger and easier to manage, but as you mentioned, the planes get small in a hurry. I had forgotten about that. I am now forcing myself to slow down so that I don't feel so rushed, but it has not been easy.
