jongurley - You said what I was trying to say a bit more elegantly!!

I think that as ones abilities improve you can be down low and show good control once a pilot has trimmed and balanced his plane - and SKILLS. It can be done but only by a few.

Thanks,

Ronster

Just as in full scale aerobatics -

Sean Tucker - Jim LeRoy, Patty Wagstaff - they all had to get low level certified before they could be allowed to perform. Doing low level precision is what its all about... OK Im off my box now..

I really am amazed that I placed in the top 5...

All in all We had fun. and that's the point of TAS.

Great post Kyle.
I am also amazed watching Jason Noll fly his Freestyles. They have elements that nobody else covers as well.

Great job this week. I enjoyed watching you fly. Your skills are truly amazing.

Sometimes I think that in any professional level sport, bussiness, hobby etc. things always seem to get political and sponser ($$$$$) corrupt. It doesn't matter if its X-Games, Ice Skating, or Flying RC, the no-name privateer will never beat a sponsered name even if they out performed them hands down. That is just the way it is. Judges can talk about it and spectators can talk about it but the under dog (the guy with no money, no name , and no sponser) will never be put on top of the pro.
