Brian:
Hi Richard,
Very nice.
What size is that, what motor etc ??
Your entry level depends very much on what 'you' can do.
Will you travel down south for comps or is this for fun.
If down here we have ;Sports,Masters and FAI classes.
You will likely be Masters or straight into FAI F3A.
We have a two tier F3A class for judging purposes.

First you need to fly and trim that model. I do not mean trim the tranny.
Get it to track straight up and down verticals,roll on its axis ,loop/ bunt straight and knife edge with no roll or pitch coupling.
You should be able to get that to roll, at approx 1/2 throttle, like its running along a wire with no visible corrections.
This will take you a while especially in this weather.

Let me know what level you think you may want to start at and I will get schedule details for you.
Look forward to see you participate.

Hi Richard,
P 11 is what is called the preliminary sequence.
Then there is the 'Finals' sequence;
