You live in a hotbed of pattern activity. There are some very good pattern flyers that live in the Katy area as well as all around Houston. I suggest that you contact users on here: EHFAI and Flyintexan (or maybe Flyingtexan). There are still three contests left this year. If you could make a contest you will find more help than you can possibly absorb at any one time. Where do you fly normally?
