No, I do in fact believe you, but I also feel that if your there to win, Expecially at a NATS level event, the airplane only needs to last one heat. I used to fly U-Control Combat years ago and even though I never really got good at it I always showed Up with one plane for every round flown. I guess I like to build. Most of the guys in my club beleive in durable planes as does yourself for combat so I understand what you are saying. I guess the real trick is to Not Midair. If I ask nicely will the other contestants not run into my planes, just kidding.

Does the AMA except prize donations for the Combat Events? Have you ever seen prizes given away before at such an event? I know the local events do but again I have never been at an AMA Nationals before.

Will you be flying any where near Chicago in the next few weeks? I would like to hook up with you so I can see what you and maybe others are flying before the NATS.
