I still believe I am a long way off Gold Wings but I have now got a hankering to achieve them. I can perform all required tasks on Phoenix but lacking in precision and think I need more guidance in the correct combination use of all controls when performing them. Although practice makes perfect, I believe that practicing wrong combinations will only make me perfectly wrong. I think some "on the job training" will enhance my learning curve and hope I can get a volunteer for that task at the field soon.
No prblems at all Wayne, I'm more than happy to help you out with any of the required manouvers. I can demonstrate them for you and show you how to master them all
Idealy they all should be practiced from left to right and from right to left equally. I'd recomend picking one manouver and focusing on that untill it becomes very familiar, then focus on the next one and just refresh on the previous ones each time you practice.
I think the manouvers that take the most work to get right are the cuban eights, then the inside and outside figure eights then three consecutive rolls and the three consecutive inside loops.
The rest is pretty straight forward.
