Chaps,

Cripes! I really did not mean to say S turns are better. I would not know (as you all know). Just that it is the only technique I was taught for giving myself more time to loose height. It has worked well in PFLs thus far. Obviously one does not throw one's a/c around the countryside, but just some turns back and fro. However, I know full well that a PFL is just that and is only preperation for the real thing. I like to think that I would not be tempted to depart from my training should the event happen for real. Odds are one day I will find out!

BTW, Thanks again to those for their kind offers of assistance. I will be enquiring about some extra training with my School so I am convinced it is a technique worth mastering. No argument there.
