Thanks, cowboy; and for your earlier post regarding the sequence, as well. A clinic in Houston would be a GOOD thing... if ya know what I mean... :-)

Looks like not much has changed in the Basic sequence; the 2-turn spin is now a 1 1/2 turn spin, and the aerobatic turn has been replaced by a Figure 9.

My Extra will be ready for its maiden flight this week-end, and I'm eager to start practicing this stuff. I replaced the "good" servos in my Sukhoi with some cheap sport digitals, and the plane flies like crap now. I dorked it last week-end, anyway, on landing. Perhaps that's a clue. I don't think I'll even bother fixing it for a while. Anyway, the Extra should be what I'm looking for.

I guess my first major question is, do all ten manuevers have to "flow"... that is, the entry into the hammerhead must be started on the same line as the exit from the loop? Or are you supposed to fly to the end of the box and turn around before initiating the next manuever?
