Skill Or The Hardware???
But Chip Hyde, just to prove afew points, just won the first superbowl of freestyle RC, XFC. He just happens to be one of the top pilots in the world, and he did it with a borrowed (35%) aircraft.This will atest to the fact that a great pilot can make all the difference. I used to race pro. motocross and I can tell you that the guys that realy hauled but could smoke most guys on bikes with much less power. We all knew there were some small suttle differences between the top motorcycle producers but they were basicly the same. Even if a top rider got picked up by a different sponsored bike he still was in the top of the pack because of his skills more than the small difference in bikes.
