Default Pylon 8 problem

As an aside, here's my favorite trick for keeping the reference line on
the pylon: imagine you're in a race with the pylon. But the objective
isn't to win the race -- it's just to finish even. So, if the pylon is
racing ahead of your reference line, what do you want to do? Speed up.
So, pitch down to speed up. If the pylon is falling behind your
reference line, you want to slow down so it can catch up. Pitch up to
slow down and let it catch you. Fun!


Hey, that's a pretty cool memory aid! I'll have to give it a try. THANKS!
