I took Thursday off from work to get some much need handle time and flying lessons from one of my many mentors - Louis Rankin (OB1). Right off the start we sat down to go over the beginner pattern. Then we talked about handles. I showed him the handle Zuriel gave me and that I got use to it. I gave up my Tom Morris handle for it. He took a look at my Tom Morris handle and noticed that I had been using it upside down. Duh! No wonder I gave it up. So after turning it around we put up several flights. After trying several different props and a run to the LHS to get a different prop 10.5x4.5 APC. I think we got the Twister all dialed in. I did my first set of three loops back to back. Got in a few outsides but still chickened out and only did one at a time. Now we just have to get the pilot dialed in.
(Thanks again Louis)

Way to go Paul; Once you have the inside and outside round maneuvers figured out, you have half the pattern in. Then, on to the square stuff. I just love diving at the ground at 55 mph from about 45' to do the outside squares. Really gets the juices flowing, if you know what I mean!
