Default Starter Pattern guide

Hey Fellows
Here's the scope, I'm wanted to start flying in some IMAC tournaments the beginning of next year, Right now I'm just polishing my sticking up, But about 3 months ago I met a guy at our field a he is by far a true die hard pattern flyer and at the time I really wasn't that interested in pattern flying UNTIL I tried it and I knew then that if I can get these incredible hard maneuvers down or at least understand them and practice them on a regular bases , It would make my over all flying improve 75% more, I really enjoy flying 3D and I'm really fortunate that I can practice every day depending on the weather, So what I'm wanted to know is where is there a site that I can go to that will show me all the pattern flying maneuvers, entries and exits, and my last question is I have been trying for about a week in a half to do I THOUGHT was a relatively easy maneuvers but man its been beating me to death but when its done right man it is so nice looking, and it looks like it would be easy to do, but its when your flying by straight and level and you make a very slow 360 degree roll but then plane never goes of its straight coarse nor does it rise or fall, Maybe its just me but that is such a nice maneuver, But also what I was wanted to ask is I'm using a Futaba 9Z radio and to make slow turns like that what is the best way to set your radio up to do this, do you guys use a mix for your ailerons, then simple switch it on when you are ready to begin your rotation..

Thanks a lot Guys any help would be great
