In past years most of my flying as been for practice at flying control line precision aerobatics. Each flight is around seven minutes (8 minutes is an over run and costs points). When I am feeling really good, I can put up five flights. If I try to do more, I lose concentration and do not accomplish anything. If I have two airplanes, I may manage a couple of flights on the second airplane. I have friends who can practice from dawn to dusk, and I see World and National champions who are that way. I came to realize that I was unlikely to outscore that kind of competition. So, when I go to a contest, and my stuff works like it is supposed to, and I fly as well as I can, I am happy regardless of place.
