Well, I'm flattered to be called professional...

But if its what it takes to be competitive, I think that I'm further on the end of the scale that defines a sport flyer.

Load the plane in my 1994 Ford Taurus in the morning on the way to work, drive an hour (Washington DC traffic). Work all day(EE/manufacturing engineer for AT&T), race out to the flying field after work (1 1/2 hour drive) pull the plane out, quickly assemble and get between 1 and 3 flights in before sunset. Normally help a flyer or two set up their plane, test fly or socialize. Go home, stop off and get a gallon or two of 100:1 mix, unload the car, put the plane on charge (thank goodness the FC Extra is maintenance free) and eat, play with the kids, study an unknown and crash to bed to start the cycle all over again. Have not watched TV for entertainment in about 5 years.

But...I love the competition, pilots and friends met throught the hobby.
