Hey Jim!

Truly excellent response there, (I think it's worth a print in the K-Factor! Would you mind submitting it?). It really struck a chord with me, because I know that perception is my number 1 (and 2 and 3) problem with my pattern flying. It was easier when I had my sister as my caller/coach, as she has a good set of eyes. But now I'm on my own, in a place where I'm the only one flying pattern (come to think of it, the only one flying precision aerobatics of any kind). And I'm frustrated because I'm very comfortable with the sticks, I have no real issues with corrections, it's just SEEING the plane right to know "which/how much/when" on the inputs. And I notice, that due to our field setup (awkward) I'm usually flying further out on the left than on the right, while trying to do my center maneuvers centered. That leaves me feeling too rushed coming in from the right (regardless of which way I'm flying the sequence, wind from left or wind from right). I'll admit, I'm kinda lost, so I was wondering if you had any words of wisdom to help me train myself to see things better? Thanks Jim.

Cheers,
Ken
