One of the quickest ways to nail down control line aerobatics is to
use a two line kite.   The local grocery store even has a nylon kite
with fiberglas rods for $9.99!   First learn to fly it with the two
handles provided then use a dowel to make a control "handle" with the
same spacing that you keep your hands apart when flying the kite.
Then just hold the dowel with one hand and start flying with the dowel
held upright.   You have to re-identify right and left as up and down
but without too much problem you will be doing figure 8's and loops in
a short time.   On really windy days that are too much for CL flying I
pull the kite out and have a lot of fun.
See ya in the circle,
