Fly IMAC. It really brings out the pilot in you and brings out your own flying style.

Try not to just do plain turns. Just do half cubans, immelmanns or split s's or even 180 deg rollers. Just be continuously doing something. Also, like the guys said on here - try IMAC.

I always map out the flight in my head before take off. That helps me, plus learning the Imac helps, I think also that how long you fly makes a difference. I can fly everything I know in a 4 min flight. So I will mix My 3d with Imac and get a good 8 to 10 min flight. So I say watch your time so you dont catch your self saying well what do I do Next.
