<font color="blue" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue;">I suspect one of the most
practical things to show the new fliers to pattern is the box and center the
maneuvers. It was the Nats before that was every pointed out to me by Don Lowe
and I have thanked him in my mind repeatedly every since. With no coach I had
no clue how poorly I was centering my maneuvers until made the obvious
observation that you fly good maneuvers but poorly presented. Instantly my
scores improved. Beginning pilots may not have coaches either so to make that
point to them goes along way to them having a good showing which I feel helps
hook them to want more. </span></font><font color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"></span></font><br>
