Keith - Well, I DO know one guy that will be there, and he will help me if I ask him to. He won the Sportsman points a few years back in our district, so having him to coach me would be much better than just showing up. They are having a clinic on Friday for first timers also. Maybe you are right. I have to start somewhere and this contest (GMA in Ballground, GA) is only 45 minutes from my home.

You'll have fun, will have an opportunity to get some excellent input, and may
be surprised that most Sportsman pilots are in the same boat as you
are.</font></div>

<div><br></div></span><div><span class="e" id="q_111cee8f77a324d4_4">I've noticed some maneuvers online that were "recorded" using a
simulator and have found them helpful. <br>As a newbie to nsrca/ama
aerobatics, it sure would be nice to have something like that showing the
complete current sportsman sequence. I'll be going to a contest in a couple of
weeks to observe, so I will get to see it live soon. I would have entered the
contest, but I'd feel like a complete dope! Ha! I know and have practiced the
maneuvers, but lack the confidence to put them together at this point.
I've studied the Aresti, flew them in my head (and sleep!) but it would be so
helpful to see a sequence. I have no close available coach. <br>Anyway, If any
of you guys have links to something I haven't found I would appreciate you
forwarding them to me. <br>
