Default RE: basic flying tips?

Welcome back Minny, Not quite sure about your inside and outside manuvers. Lets get this correct. Inside is with canopy towards the center of the loop, outside is canopy away from the center. It was always easier, for me anyway, to do the insides. I fly with my elbow slightly bent most of the time. I find it necessary to flex my wrist for just about all manuvers. I try to trace the pattern with my handle/hand/arm, while doing each one. The way started doing the outside loops was out of a figure eight. Just make sure you altitude is high enough. I usually build in way more control than is needed for manuvers, but that is my safety margin. haha Many a time I have had close calls with tera firma and the panic up or down has saved my planes.
I am sure there will be better thoughts, but thats how I relearned.
