Big, smooth, graceful maneuvers are what it's all about for me. You do it like the Blue Angels, and you'll win every event. I fly an SPA-legal King Altair, (vintage 1967), which is essentially a 2-meter plane way ahead of its time. The long tail moment concept goes all the way back to the Taurus in 1962. I'll include a picture of both. The King Altair designer, Vic Husak was a friend of Taurus designer Ed Kazmirski.

The long tail moment help the plane tract very smoothly, and do very pretty, elegant maneuvers

Good luck--I'll be watching your thread.
