Not sure you even have to do that. This year I started out flying just a Eflite Splendor. What I was finding was that when I traveled to events some of the locals would always come up and talk to me about the plane. Here I was using a very inexpensive plane and I was extremely competitive with it. I was consistently finishing 3rd in Intermediate.
I would emphasize that to get the plane to fly like it did, I had to spend a lot of hours adjusting and moving things around for the proper CG. Not to mention hours of flying to get extremely comfortable with the plane.
I was encouraging for me to have been asked about the plane. Knowing it really isn't about the plane as much as it is the pilot. Yes there is not doubt the plane will help out as well. But you still can not replace the skill of the pilot no matter what you do or try.
