I was exchanging some engineering ideas with a guy from Israel a few months ago, in regard to why certain trim was "necessary" (my term). After several emails, his final email was very telling. He said to me that his 13 year old son (who all the trimming was for) just placed 2nd in their International Comp in F3A with a model that had mixes everywhere. It was those mixes they were trying to reduce but ran out of time before their meet.

Point was well taken....A moderately well set-up plane in the hands of exceptional skill, will win or place. A great set-up in moderately skilled hands will lose. A great set-up in great hands = magic
