Last years masters was won by Pete Goldsmith flying his design scratch built 46% Cap 232. As for the discussion, practice and dialed in equipment make the difference. I fly every week with Pete and Mike McConville and believe me these guys practice hard. Continually tweaking the programming and getting the planes flying the way they want them. Also their set-ups are pretty close even if their planes are different. TOC level pilots are a breed unto them selfs, any of the 21 could win on any given day.

Peter Goldsmith did in fact win the Masters. In my post it says "The top place qualifier at last years Masters flew a 35% plane. Every other pilot flew a 40% which was believed to be a necessity." The qualifier is the pre-contest to determine those added to the invited list. The first place finisher in this group was Rob Sarlan our NE IMAC Regional director and placed 12th overall. Not bad for the entry into this level of competetion.
