Practice Regiment

[Gene Maurice]

Ed,

 

I'm like you, fly once a week, if I'm lucky. Three to five flights, 2 rounds
per flight on some, 1 round and specific maneuvers on others. I fly
something that resembles Masters, come in at the bottom of the pack at all
contests. Dist 6 has some pretty good Masters folks too. I'm not sure I'll
ever get a chance to practice more, job, family, blah, blah, blah. 

 

I still enjoy the hell out of this hobby. Maybe that's the trick, view it as
a hobby, have fun, enjoy the great fraternity.

Ok, the list is far too quiet so it's time to stir the pot....actually I'm
looking for advice. Although practice makes perfect, he who burns the most
fuel wins...etc, realistically what you all of you do to get the most from
your practice sessions ??? Especially those that have a 24/7 lives and are
at times lucky to get to the field once a week ?? My personal situation the
last few years is unfortunately fly very little, get to the contest a day
early, get a few flights in ( complete sequence in both directions ) and
then do my best during competition. Got lucky and did well up through
Advanced but that sure isn't going to cut it in Masters, especially in
District 1. I was toying with breaking the sequence up in half or thirds to
practice or ?? I'm listening...Ed M.
