I absolutely agree about having to judge immediately before you fly an unknown. Thats a definite disadvantage.

My comment was in regards to requiring a caller to help you with rudder inputs ect. You shouldnt be relying on your caller for these corrections, you should be able to ask your caller whats next, which way you go, inverted exits ect, ect, but its not up to your caller to tell you which way to waggle the stick!!

PS Tony's relaxed way of calling is great....... Just make sure you know when he says loop he actually means loop with 1 1/4 snap opposite 3of4 over the top etc etc. You gotta ask for the extra info, if you dont ask it is assumed you just know

Interestingly if you call for Tony be prepared to get "wrong" "wrong" "wrong"...."aahh dont worry about it give it to me"..... ..... ( also remember he has the TX in his hands so for 10 or 15mins you are safe from being socked one )

the great thing is instead of having to call for him from then on you can sit down and relax........

Sort of like making a cup of tea for your new wife...always screw it up....that way they will never ask you to do it again......plus always compliment them on what a great cup of tea they make.....even if it tastes like crap.....otherwise you are the victim.


So I rate myself as a very poor calller....lol.. arent I Tony....lol

Don't worry about the bloke in front, you had better feed the poor Bugger at the back before there is nothing left of him, and then send him home, with out a decthlon
