I have done standing turns in the past with good luck. Yesterday was the first time I attempted something different, with not so good of an outcome. I think for the short term I will go back to doing the standing turns. For me this means doing a 270 clockwise turn rather than a 90 degree counter-clockwise turn, but so be it. Thanks, Dan
