Thanks for the advice guys. I can fly pretty well but its just that I have failed to learn to really fly properly, that's why I decided to fly F3A. I shall take what you guys have said into mind. Need to start with marking out the end points for the box, make sure I fly over a sucker of a friend who will be a target for the rest and not to forget, trim her out well. I have trimmed her out at the moment and am sure some fine tuning still needs to be done.
Of late I have been practising flying straight and executing turn arounds. Its really tiring but I guess it has t be done till I can really fly along the same line all the time.
Mike ... ooooo ... I like the link, very comprehensive and easy ... thanks a lot.
Tianci,
Another important bit of advice if you are truly serious about F3A flying is to go to local events where F3A is flown and watch the seasoned veterans do it. Be very critical of the flying you witness....that is, watch carefully the lines, angles, radii, rolls etc. that the veterans execute. Ask questions to clarify things for you.
F3A is at the top of the heap in terms of complexity. Don't fall into the trap that just because you know how to fly, that you can execute the maneuvers these people can with the precision and accuracy these require. It takes a long time to get decent at the flying technique. And mastering the techniques may never come.
Most of all, lower your expectations and be kind to yourself about your progress
