I think the more appropriate approach would be to discuss all the components including the "politics" that has become a big part of the equation that results in the win or loss of a World Championship. How's that for a dose of reality?
Now that someone has responded............to be fair are we judging F3A pilot skill level or how well and easy the airframe is to fly ???
In the old days I think we also judged how well the model look...
The NYMPHADORA is a gorgeous looking plane and probably a good flyer but take away that Contra will it be as competitive ? This I doubt very much.
So leaving all the Politics out of this you can't claim to be the best when your skill is not doing all the work.
