For all out freestyle, including touching, Kyle Woyshnis has proven that he is the champ, Gernot is pretty good as well, I'd love to see him let loose. When it comes to foamies, Clause Meijer takes the cake.

I agree 50%, Kyle is one unbelievable freestyle pilot. He has been down to the DOD fly-in the past two years and he just makes everything look so effortless no matter what the plane is doing.

Well based in my short circle of exposure to pilots- the BEST- eye-popping, jaw dropping with HUCKER as a middle name would have to go (IMHO) to Doug ***** a.k.a. VOO DOO Child!
His flying ilk is one of the main reasons the Florida Freestyle Aerobatics Association came about!

Hey- If your guy doesn't have grass stains on his wing tips from ground level blenders and gator poop-scootin' knife edge passes- I suggest you keep hunting!

To sum his flying up...
This boy just ain't right in the head; with the routines he challenges your optical nerves to sort out!

I have to be biased and say the kid from my home town impresses me every time I talk to him or see him fly the wheel pants off his planes or helis. Always polite and professional.... Nick Maxwell....!!!

Default Re: Who's the best freestyle pilot.

I enjoy watching Kyle and QQ fly the most. Clearly QQ has a well polished and mature FS Sequence... but Kyle flies like I like and like I try to fly myself....
And like the crowd likes... clearly the winner for crowd appeal.

But.. have you ever watched Chip Hyde fly someone elses plane!??!?!
I watched him fly OPP's on two occasions.. (QQ102's) and it was some of the most entertaining flying I ever saw. If Chip had a creative consultant to help him put together a freestyle, I think he would be hard to beat... Still!

Incidently.. there will be a "AirShow Tournement" at the Woody's Wild Wings III in El Centro California... 5 minutes to music.. and tpuching the ground is OK!!!

Low pressure fun event to see how crazy people can be!!!

Man there are so many choices.

I think you could take the top 10 list from the TAS and fight between these guys all day long.

Heck I wish I had 1/2 the skills of the top 20 guys!

yes, but most of them in a contest will not push it all the way. If they do it outside of a contest, I don't know, but none the less, few are willing to pust it to the level of risking their plane. Gernot, QQ and JAS did it at Clover Creek, but Kyle is the undisputed king.
