Default RE: Mixes

Wow I guess Mike was typing while I was. Yeah - what he said! LOL I think you get the picture - try to avoid mixes especially "silly" ones like left rudder to down elevator for outside corners. At that point you just need to fly the plane. Really. Just try to get the plane to not fight you in the more common positions: vertical up and down lines, knife edge both directions and of course straight and level flight (upright AND inverted). Remember, you will need to hold some down elevator when inverted. That's OK. Just make sure the plane locks in and doesn't feel mushy. After that just practice a lot with your primary airplane. I'm going to try to do that this season (as opposed to what I've been doing over the last few years). Hopefully this will pay off.
