Default Face it.......to fly at the TOC level cost money.....

in fuel. Have you ever been to a big event where a top guy crashes his plane, borrows one from another guy, and fly's a killer routine? Seen it. These guys go to these events weeks (days) in advance to do nothing but practice. I don't think it takes a top of the line plane, just a good plane set up correctly and practice. Look at the guys flying the Boxer's in pattern. These are not high dollar machines.

There was a picture floating around a while back of a young man buying a plane from Quiqui (Eli???????). Anyway, in one of the pictures you could see boxes, after boxes, after boxes of fuel. What does this tell you about Quiqui? I've seen him fly at several events. I bet you he doesn't use a full tank of fuel in his Excellence for all the shows he fly's that day.....so he must be doing a lot of flying somewhere.......
