I appreciate all the kind words about me guys, but I'm not all that good. I'm sure you all will see me get my butt handed to in Tucson!

Whatever!!!

One thing you are though Seth is quite humble (as are most of the top competition pilots). I enjoy watching them all, sure we have our favorites that we would like to see win but the one thing I enjoy is just watching good flying. As was indicated at Clover Creek where Jason's win over Mark was very minimal, same thing at this years XFC.

Watching these guys fly makes me want to improve my flying even more. Even though I may never reach there level it's just fun to challenge myself to fly better.

Man after watching the clover creek videos I would have to agree Gernot is the smoothest free style pilot today. Jesky is the most high octane.

Man I like the flying of all the top pilots. I really like the preision QQ has. But at last years DOD fly-in Kyle was amazing. It was so cool to see him to a rolling harrier inches of the ground. Then he would pause in between the rolls. I hope he comes this year

It's guys like kyle that can fly freestyle and turn around and throw down an awesome IMAC sequence. Being able to pull off both is incredible!

Hanno Pretner was the Michael Jordan of RC. QQ definitely raised it to another level. Chip is in that category, but behind QQ. Now, there is a new breed that is pushing the limits and doing things that have never been done before. Throwing it down while talking on the cell, and the rest of us are skipping a beat. When you say Kyle, you're on the right track. There are a dozen others out there waiting in the wings. They all fly at a different discipline, or no discipline at all. BUT they are good. Jesky, Noll, Leesburg, Gernot. This is the first year Chitty has had a 40% airplane. Invite him to a throwdown and he'll knock your socks off.
