After reading most of these posts I think most of you are in dreamland. You cant honestly tell me you think a 60 inch plane on a day with any kind of wind could compete against these larger aircraft. The whole basis on judgment is how precise you enter and exit manures and by these terms no mater how good you are is going to put you at a major disadvantage with a smaller plane. My 12 year old son is going to compete this year with a GP 60 size extra 300. We know he will probably have this major disadvantage. We will do it anyway just because of the competition and the enjoyment of going to these events. If there were a separate class for these smaller planes it would level the playing field and I think if they let it build for a while and let the word get around the entries would go up. You can't get a bad rep to go away overnight.
