Nothing personal, but struggling to agree the only guys that have a clue are those competing and/or flying DA.

Wow, is that really what you got from what I said? Competing does not mean that I am trying to prove anything to anyone but myself. It's about pushing myself toward continuous improvement. Where did I say sport pilots know nothing about tuning or trimming? I said competition pilots take these to a higher level. Why is it every time we don't agree on something you feel the need to exaggerate and put words in my mouth?
