I don’t think that a contra equipped Galactik has any business in sportsman to begin with but that is just my opinion. In most cases I feel that a sportsman pilot with that setup is too much over his head for the airplane to be much of an advantage anyway. I saw the same thing in IMAC with 40% airplanes in basic class. I saw a bunch of busted up airplanes and frustrated guys wasting a bunch of money. Don’t get me wrong, I like the high end equipment just as much as the next guy but in the bottom two classes a well practiced guy with a well set up Kaos has a chance of winning. One think that has been brought up at the field is sequence complexity. 3/4 of AMA population will never be able to fly up to advanced class level let alone fly it well. How many guys can we attract when most of them know they can never get past intermediate class?
