Arch is exactly correct (Steve would be able to chime in about this as well). The Episode is designed particularly for the F sequence. After quite a bit of communication with BJ, it is quite clear that he believes that the current F sequence type of maneuvers will become more and more predominant in FAI as we progress. He was quite clear that anyone would be hard pressed to make the Episode fly the P sequence as well as the Nuance but the Episode was definitely designed to be the F sequence slayer.
This has also reinforced my own belief that one either needs an airplane for each sequence in FAI or two completely different setups utilizing one aircraft. I have spoken to many of my FAI friends who concur. This is just my opinion however and I have zero doubt that many of the great FAI guys will prove otherwise. These are the same guys that can win with a brick and motor though.
