NSRCA has the other pattern sequences. No matter what you choose, Senior or NSRCA, start out at the beginning level (Sportsman for NSRCA) and learn each maneuver one at a time, and starting at the beginning.. if it calls to start out with a straight line flight, learn to do that correctly. It's tougher than you think. Then go to the next one.. it used to be a Reverse 1/2 Cuban 8. If so, do it and do it, and do it. Over and over again. Practice it. Then string them together.. straight line into a Reverse 1/2 Cuban 8, and practice that. Then move to the next maneuver, as I said, used to be a Split S. Practice.. and so on.. string it in the first two, practice....

Burn fuel, learn them in sequence. Once you are done, and you've been able to string all maneuvers together, then practice with someone behind you calling out each maneuver as you do them.

If you wish to compete, don't sweat it. Once you learn all maneuvers, go ahead and go to a meet with your plane. You'll be surprized at how well you do if you practice... burn fuel!!! I'm still hearing my instructor/mentor saying to me.. "Ya wanna learn Pattern? Burn fuel!!!"
