Hi All
I am not a competing Aerobatic pilot but i do fly aerobatic aircraft. Mainly because a well set up pattern ship is a joy to fly instead of your average sports plane.
I think F3A is rapidly heading in the direction the jet scene is going "NUTS". We are talking about serious amounts of money tied up in an airframe. However at least the chances of losing the lot with an F3A ship are limited which is not the case with a turbine.
But the point is that it will soon be strictly the domain of well healed pilots who can afford the initial sums involved. which are bordering on ridiculous sums of money.
If this is a hobby and a great one as far as I am concerned can we get some sanity back? Make it viable for people to get involved without re mortgaging their house and hopefully bring the fun back as I can for see in the not to distant future F3A becoming extinct at its own hands.

The above is my opinion and I await the flak

Mike
