Hecalled me one night and we talked for a hour or so about how to approach competition flying. It was very cool. Leo's inverted ribbon cut and his outside snap after was a ball buster. That had to have been the hardest push I had ever seen at the time. And lowwwwwwwwwww. Not sure why you have the impression that Lazers fly lower... most likely due to the fact the not too many CAPs here state side being flown by experianced show pilots. Some that have them are excellent pilots, just not 100% show guys/gals. Also, with me, I just have become....well.... older...I want to die in bed..with a hot babe next to me at the ripe old age of 85 plus. Not in some smoldering hole in the ground in front of thousands of people only to be forgotten the next week and played time and time again on CNN. I will leave that really low flying to the new guys and the guys that are out there doing it all the time making a living at it. I no longer have anything to prove. I'm happy doing a good, safe demo without pushing the limits. next question.

Yes I agree it seems to me Leo did his whole performance in a box the size guys fly 42% Imac planes in I mean his whole routine was down on the deck right in your face couldn't take your eyes off him kind of routine!!!
