If you do not practice, learn and master this chicane corner, there is little........... to no chance you'll even be able to finish this race. :D

Once you mastered the timing of this corner, you can run it full speed.
1. Decrease speed and 90* roll left... Add left rudder to maintin altitude...... saddle up on the FAR right side of the track with your belly against the stacks.

2. Pull hard back on the stick aiming for the cliff's edge.

3. Increase power and 180* roll right.

4. Decrease speed and pull hard back on the stick.

5. Level out your wings, increase speed and move as far to the right side of the track as possible.

6. Decrease speed, 90* roll left and pull hard back on the stick.

&*%$^%#%$@#^%#$%^%$!!!!!

Wife just got a major ass chewing for bugging me while flying. Mid way through the chicane she decided to walk up and start talking to me and I forgot where my throttle was and stalled it. Oh well. I have felt like shit for the last few days and maybe should have taken warren up on the idea of waiting to fly tomorrow. Good race guys. I was not at top racing mode and I lost it. See you guys on the next one.
