Don't get me wrong, all the top pilots can do all the tough stuff, I just liked the pace and combos
of Mark and Jeff.
However this is just my opinion from the vids, I did not make it there.
jeffery had some good flying and did some things well, not enough precision in my opinion and he wasnt very smooth, didnt fly clean lines looked like he was just pushing the sticks around at some points but if he can clean up his maneuvers he could be real good

Jeffery had one of the most original routines out there.
His second flight was going great until he busted the airplane, and still managed to end up in the top 5 using the score with his precision plane that he never practiced freestyle with.
I'll bet some of the moves from his routine will be the most copied next year.

Had Mark Leseberg not messed up in the first sequence, he had absolutely deserved to win in my oppinion.

To me his sequence was the only innovative one, and while the other showed up with their old (nice, but old) routines - Leseberg really pushed it to the edge.

No one rolls like Leseberg, and what particularly inpressed med was his rolling circle downline.

and zero'd another one by touching ground. If he would not have touched ground, he would have podiumed for sure, if not the top 2-3...no doubt in my mind. His fast rollers set him apart from the rest, IMO...particularly the rolling split S from 75 feet up to as low as -1 foot up!

This is a dumb poll. QQ and Kyle are both good pilots. Maybe it's because I missed all the Tucson hype surrounding the event, but to be still debating this is worthless.

Also, to be complaining about the rule structure is pointless. To those who think Kyle was the better pilot because he went hardcore 3D consider this: Because QQ folowed the rules and according to the judging criteria, he won fair and square.


In a few hours, it will be 2007. The new IMAC season will be upon us.(well, most of ya'll) So who will win Tucson07? Maybe Kyle will if he puts on a boring flight. Maybe Beavis when he completes that incredible rolling/diving/ split-s. Maybe QQ if he grows some balls. Maybe someone who will shatter the world with a new maneuver. Maybe someone who just follows the rules. I'm just happy that I was able to get a few flights in today.(yes, I did hover my trainer)

He did complete it after he crashed. With the 150cc 300, faster and harder.

IMHO... QQ has a more polished and mature Freestyle... looks professional... Kyle has more "WOW Factor" and shabang but still with control and precision...
The question will be easier to answer in 5 years when Kyle has matured (And figured out touching the ground = ZERO!!! lol) adn QQ will...ummmm.. well... be five years older lol.

I enjoy both flyers FS's from different points of view. Both pilots are gentlemen and good representatives of our hobby....
We are all a winner either way!

It is waste of... time to compare the two pilots just for free styles.... competetions are not won on freestyles but on know & unknown sequences... & in my mind Quique flies precession smooth aerobatics & also furry Extreme 3D... both very well on the other hand i see Kyle do only slow flying.... very slow... not furious...
