That's the position I was seeing it from, but I can see J&J's point for sure. Swap out the 1-1/2" wheel for a 1" wheel, change the bends and you have what you need in the 28%-30% class. Flip side is I've seen a lot of people in the 28% class go the top of the line route in equipment. Some of that has been from the performance standpoint but some of it's probably been just for "bragging rights". Either way they'll invest near as much as would be done in a larger plane. Working with Wild Hare for the last few years has shown that a lot of people go "over the top" with their equipment. The loss of RC Blimp has left a void that begs to be filled.
