I've been practising on my simulator to try to get it to be instinctive. I began by practising control line circuits, then figure 8s. Then inverted control line circuits and figure 8s. then knife edge circuits and figure 8s. Then I started to do full, half and quarter rolls at points to push myself. Now I am starting to get comfortable with it.

My most recent trick has been to set up a mix to cause the plane to slowly roll right or left (ie it is out of trim), then I try to fly around keeping it going where I want it to go. Now starting to get the hang of rolling loops as well.

Of course this is on the simulator, I am quite a way behind doing it for real. [&:] One thing I found when starting out on this was that I was not as good on the elvator as I thought I was.

As for rules, I have been trying to use the one that Barry B suggests. Trouble with all rules is by the time you have thought about it, you have probably crashed.[&o]
