I took a look at that down wind turn thread; it's big!!! Does seem like the answer was in there but there's a bit of "knowledge camouflage" like a lot of threads.

I did become aware of something I was doing that I will now watch out for; I reduce thrust on downwind leg to reduce apparent ground speed. I just prefer flying slowly and the airplane is going faster than I like. But it sounds like could end up going too slow if I'm not careful.

to Mr speedracertrixie: That white plane looks like a mig 3; you just don't see enough of those!!! I particularly liked the BF 109. I always liked the different color schemes on the real one and that particular color scheme isn't one I've seen yet!!! What type/brand airplane are those?
