Dan- I saw the scores - if I had a pilot - huh - what is that 20 points a round?

you loose 1% of raw points prior to normalization If you had had a pilot and panel you would have had 4386,2 instead of 4342.9 so you would have gained 43.3 points not enough...LOL

I always like pulling on someone elses.

I take all the points I can get - I've heard I rush things though - lol

actually Ryan had borrowed my pilot for the nats and he just kept it in there - I new he would be scoring better than me anyway - then he went and killed the pilot Saturday- ugh

When I have called for you every maneuver you did center box was good. Its when you get on the ends I can tell you lose track of the plane. You do fly good. Maybe talk to the eye Doc about some "flying glasses" Or buy a full scale Yak and throw some big ole servos in it. Bet you can see that good. LOL...
You will figure something out I know. But your right you do fly good. Just need to dial that plane in with your eyeballs. Your sequence isnt rushed or anything maybe you can tighten it up and bring it in a little so you can see it better. I have seen a tight sequence look very good before and get high scores but it takes a different type of flying with lots of throttle control. Pshhhh! I sound like some guy sitting at a computer writting unprofessional critisim. Oh..Guess I am...DOh!!!!

Thank you Scott. What you say makes sense. I will try to tighten the sequence a little bit.

Are you feeling better?
