My advice, get a room you'll need the rest before your first big day!

Brandon Ransley here in the UK once gave me probably the best advice ever, during take off, take your time, go slow. On your down wind leg before your first center point manouvre sort your trim state out, get the model locked in. This will be day specific due to wind conditions. Use a half reverse cuban to get back in to wind ready for your first manouver, set your line up and enjoy the flight. Remember, wings level before you pull, this is probably the biggest overlooked reason for coming off line during a manouver, get em level.

I still remember my first comp and my first competitive flight, geez it was ugly but I enjoyed it, theres the key!

Have a great comp and let us know how you got on, best of luck dude [8D]

Regards from over the pond,

Andy.
