<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everything you're describing is normal. I've had
times when trying to prefect the centered Avalanche where I would fly it over
and over and it seems like after about three times things start degrading.
However, the next time through the pattern it would normally be back. The big
thing is don't worry about it too much as that leads to mass ugliness.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In fact, this year in Masters at one contest
my two half rolls opposite slow roll was a bit off in round one. The next time
through it was off more, then more the next time! By round four it looked like I
had no idea what I was doing! It was all mental. I still get the puckeruptus
when approaching that maneuver even though I have the ability to fly it pretty
well. </FONT></DIV>

sports psychology deal. I know you've heard of batting and pitching
slumps.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Try stringing about four procedures together with
the outside loop in the middle and fly it about ten times. Before you know it
the outside loop will be beautiful!</FONT></DIV>

Puckeruptus</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Is it just me, or does this happen to other people.</DIV>
<DIV>Sometimes, the more I practice the worse I get.</DIV>
<DIV>Case in point.</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>I've done it hundreds of times...simple.</DIV>
<DIV>The other day the airplane drifted a bit and I make a mid loop
correction. The result was ugly...real ugly.</DIV>
<DIV>"What's this"? I'm thinking. So, I break away and fly the outside
loop again.</DIV>
<DIV>This one's worse.</DIV>
<DIV>"Holy s..."! What's happening to me, I must have the palsy.</DIV>
<DIV>How embarrassing!</DIV>
<DIV>For the next three days I struggle to analyze what I'm doing wrong.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think I have it worked out now, but it's not the same anymore.</DIV>
<DIV>Now, as I approach the sixth maneuver I get bad vibes and a case of
<EM>rectal puckeruptus</EM>.</DIV>
<DIV>The outside loop isn't easy anymore...I have to really concentrate to not
screw it up.</DIV>
<DIV>Hope the other 18 maneuvers don't self destruct.</DIV>
