Chuck- I love doing turns around a point. Just last Saturday at a fly-in I flew to, there were some orange cones marking holes in the did. I did several turn around a point maneuvers with these cones. Though I am no expert, I found doing these very smoothly in the 15 mph winds that day. Much easier to do it subconsciously now than when I was early in my flying and had to "think" ahead of the cyclic. Much easier operating anything when your subconscious takes most of the work load.
