Really useful suggestions, thank you all very much for pointing me in the right direction, I'll definitely get a couple of those. The
book looks like a very enjoyable read, although perhaps not a tutorial for beginners in the traditional sense (?)
Merci to stiknruda for the tip about Patrick Gigot. Hadn't heard of him, I'm afraid, but I found
his notes on the Internet, and they do look good. I see the Cap 10 x-wind limit for a student twirler is just 5 kts!
