[NSRCA-discussion] R. Puckeruptus

[Bob Richards]

Back when I was "in the hunt" I would practice like crazy up until the Wednesday before a contest. I did not even fly a practice flight when arriving at a contest. I seemed to do better that way.
   
  Leave it for a few days and see what happens.

    Is it just me, or does this happen to other people.
  Sometimes, the more I practice the worse I get.
  Case in point.
  The sixth maneuver on the Intermediate is an outside loop...no problem...wings level, reduce throttle, push the stick forward, throttle up at 1/2 loop...and so forth.
  I've done it hundreds of times...simple.
  The other day the airplane drifted a bit and I make a mid loop correction.  The result was ugly...real ugly.
  "What's this"? I'm thinking.  So, I break away and fly the outside loop again.
  This one's worse.
  "Holy s..."! What's happening to me, I must have the palsy.
  How embarrassing!
  For the next three days I struggle to analyze what I'm doing wrong.
   
  I think I have it worked out now, but it's not the same anymore.
  Now, as I approach the sixth maneuver I get bad vibes and a case of rectal puckeruptus.
  The outside loop isn't easy anymore...I have to really concentrate to not screw it up.
  Hope the other 18 maneuvers don't self destruct.
