RE: Worlds Best RC Jet Pilot
A name from the past but I think the raw talent of Mark Leavesley takes alot of beating. Every time I see him fly it's obvious that the guy don't even have to try.

Definitely sounds like he's the real deal, first, because I've never heard of him, and second because of his last name.
I'm sure he has flown too many hours to count, but if he's that good; shouldn't his last name be, Bestmann?
Well maybe not, then everyone would always think he's going to be in someone's wedding! Yes, keep his true idenity a secret with the last name trick, works everytime.
Would love to see some video of him flying or at least a picture of whatever it is that he flies. He reminds me of this guy that lives online and keeps jumping all of us with this vectored thrust SU-47 out of no where on Ace Combat 6 and dissappearing, [
] it's always the ones you never expect!

The reason I ask is because I was super impressed with Ralf Losemann. How many hours training do people like this put in?

Ali, shulman, and Todd of Waco, TX. If Todd ever showed up at a premier jet rally and flew a jet, he would give both Shui and Ali a run for their money. Shui might know who I'm talking about and most of you guys would have never heard of him.

Technically speaking who ever wins the World Jet Masters is the best jet pilot, of course we are talking ''scale'' here...
Its same as asking who is the best aerobatics or helicopter pilot. The world standard competition rankings are in my opinion will always be the true yard stick. That being said and in regard to jets specifically and the WJM, I do not agree with the gyro rule so therefor personally I do not recognize anyone that uses gyro's as really eligible for title of 'Worlds Best Pilot' but thats just me...

I'd say Ali has a fair cubboard full of awards and makes flying look really easy, especially with the type of models that most of us would be shaking just starting them up never mind flying them, which is always a sign of a real pro.
Really enjoyed shulmans last flight at JWM 2007 as I did Jon Tappins nice flowing style.

I think it hard to put this particular accolade on any one persons shoulders, we have some fine pilots in our sport, too many to list, and the obvious ones being, Ali Machinchy, David Shulman, and like Jason said Mark Leavsley is always a contender, and any one who has seen Geoff White fly his particular style of smooth flowing aerobatics will agree he is up there with the best.

RE: Worlds Best RC Jet Pilot
I can see why somenzini is one of the best pilots in the world since he has the tittles to prove it but how would you determine the best jet pilot ? Who goes faster or lands closest to the center line on the runway ? Is there jet competitions ?

Well that jet Mr. Losemann's looks like it is so hard to fly that its not even funny! So no laughing here.
We won't flame you here either, but he's definitely amatuer!
Here's how the PRO's do it. (this might even be the guy that keeps getting us in AC6, ya just never know!)

RE: Worlds Best RC Jet Pilot
but how would you determine the best jet pilot
When I think about the Best, I think about the guys that can fly a jet that they have never flown before and make it look like they've been flying it for years. Not only could they be trusted to fly your latest pride and joy, but they would put on a heck of a show while doing it.
Most of the guys already mentioned in this thread are in that group.

We will commence determining the best RC Jet Pilot in the entire universe on July the 24th, 2011 with the Jet World Masters hosted by the City of Dayton, Ohio at the United States Air Force Museum.
