Watson--knew you were planning to do this, so glad you enjoyed it! I watched a video with Kim Brummer recently and she says when you are FMQ you need to be working in that 15-18" right in front of you--so with a machine adjusted in height to you (which probably isn't on a rental machine) you are able to keep those elbow at a 90 degree angle and tucked to your side--that helps you keep better control on the machine. I sometimes have to remind myself of this while on the LA!
