One of the smoothest pilots I have ever seen is John Glezelis. He won the XFC this year and was a demo pilot at last years TOC. Get the video of the XFC and check him out. I belive he is one of the up and comming pilots of the future. I believe anyone who can fly at that level of expertise be it Chip, Jason, John, Garret , or Qui QUi. will be sponsored and have the oportunity to make a living in this Sport/Hobby. But, I do not think they should be seperated out from the rest of us.
