Hey Guys, I don't compete, but I will say that you guy that do are very good pilots. From the time I take off, I try to make my flight look a real a possible. I'm not burning holes in the sky. I try to fly with purpose. The other flyers at my club just go where the plane points. I get compliment on my flights all the time, and the funny thing is, those guys are just as good a pilot as I am. I just make it look like I know what I doing.

After ten minutes of smooth flight, I like to 3D with the last 5 minutes on the timer. I do fare with both. The 3D makes my hands sweat and pucker factor rise, but when I nail that slow roll all the way across the "box" it makes me smile I love both forms of flying.

My hardest manuever ( at my level) is the rolling circle. I did one that was very nice last summer that I accually used both sticks on!, and I almost fried my brain. I had to land and let the smoke clear.

I can see why you IMAC guys get a thrill out of it and you 3D guys are getting thrills too, BUT the most important thing is "Can we all just get along?"
