Bill,

Thanks for the encouragement. Being an engineer by trade, sometimes I think I tend to overthink things.
I've been trying to practice inverted flight on G2 and that was my ultimate goal with the real plane. I was basically trying to progress from a roll, to an axial roll, to a slow roll, to sustained inverted flight. However, your advice to concentrate on mastering each control independantly, rather than specific combinations makes a lot more sense. And obviously, one more mistake's worth of altitude won't hurt anything either!

I must be an unusual participant in this sport though, even as the plane was heading for certain destruction, I never felt like I paniked. From the very first time out, flying has always been a very relaxing outlet for me. Now it's just starting to get *really* fun too. Now I just need another plane as I really want to get some more time with the fundamentals before I christen the T2 waiting in the wings...
