RE: Why Fly Basic?
I said 33 basic pilots in TWO contests. 14 in one and 19 in the other. That is fact not BS.
As soon as the pilot finishes his seqence he moves to the side to the next pilot can start before the previous pilot has landed. As a pilot you take off when the pilot in front of you has 2 manuevers left. That way the you are ready to enter the box when the previous pilot has completed his sequence.
