C/L Combat

摘要

Practice makes perfect... but maybe only if it is perfect practice. How should you practice for C/L Combat? Should you be doing a lot of flying by yourself? Or is the best scenario a practice match with another pilot? How do the champions practice? I wrote several pilots who are consistently successful and asked for their thoughts and how they practice. Here are some of their replies. Pat Willcox wrote, "I have never been one to do lots of practice flying other than this: 1. Make sure my planes fly straight and dependably. 2. Do some wing-overs with 'S' moves and vary the pullouts upright or inverted. 3. Get comfortable with inverted low flight. 4. Do some large 'outside eights' stimulating having your opponent locked at your six o'clock and do the 'full up' switch back move. The best thing to prepare for a contest was to hopefully be rested and clear headed when the first match starts."
