Hi, BjamesJr,
Thanks for yor comments. I have found that just practicing for the Basic has improved my flying a lot. I am a typical (I think) rc pilot, in that I can take off and land without crashing. I can do most manouvers. The hard part is to do these manouvers in a sequence and in the part of the sky required for the judges. This is what I need to practice more and more. I am geting better at setting up the airplane so It is easier to fly. I have a good friend who flys pattern and IMAC and we have made arrangements to meet up in the future to have some practice.

The model is not flying at the moment due to a problem with the engine. As soon as it is fixed I will get at it again.

Regards
