Then go get the Dave Patrick book on HOW to fly those patterns. One thing to see what they look like nuther thing to learn how to fly them.

The first and hardest pattern maneuver, fly a REAL straight line from one end of the box to the other. No curving no turns no climbs WINGS level.

Next draw 45-degree lines on graph paper till you can do it with your eyes closed. Then go fly that angle. It's steeper than you think.

Pattern is the closest thing to a ZEN sport. You’re competing against yourself!
