HI MY best suggestion is to get out and watch pattern being flown (or any other type of flying that may interest you ) at a field by accomplished pattern flyersno mater what type of flying you do you will have to appreciate the skilled flying you have the good fortune to be watching- as with any aspect of the RC airplane hobby seeing it done right might just be the insperation that sets you off to decide THAT IS THE KIND OF FLYING THAT I WANT TO GET REAL GOOD ATAND OFF YOU GO ON A NEW ADVENTURE ENJOY REGARDS TONY
