I'm certainly no expert, but that never stopped me from giving advice,
and you did ask... :-)
How many models have you made? Model making is like anything else,
with practice you get better at it. Did you struggle to get to weight?
Are you close to weight? You quickly learn that weight isn't the most
important thing. The model has to be strong and stiff enough. If you
struggled to get to weight you might have the weight in the wrong
places.
You say you have problems getting the turns in. Do you stretch wind?
Do you use lube? The better flyers know how to pack in the turns. Like
building, it really pays to practice winding, or at least do a lot of
winding.
Don't be discouraged. The guys with the great times have been doing
this for a while now, or have mentors with a lot of experience. Even
for the experienced guys the times didn't start out nearly as high as
they have gone. Folks had to learn what works with the "new" rules. We
benefit from their hard work, but there is a lot that goes into a
sucessful indoor model.
Good luck.
