Default RE: What is this Plane?


ORIGINAL: Acs_guitars

Around here (the small events I have been too) the guys in this class are not too competitive, in the bad sense. It is true that people push the limit, give an inch, they take a mile.... I am just not one of those guys and once I see this I will lose interest. If I want to truely compete I will buy a modern ship and compete, I fly for the enjoyment and thrill, not to prove myself. I guess I will have to stick to FunFly and IMAA events when I move to Jacksonville in the next year or 2 as it seems SPA/BPA are alot more of an event in the South than here in Northeast OK.[&:]

Even doddering old fool ex-pattern pilots still are what they are - competitors!!!

The old Native American parable (sp?) about the wolf and the scorpion comes to mind. "Because that is what scorpions do...".

The true secret is for you to enjoy the hobby/sport in your way and to permit others to enjoy it in their way. That way, everyone is happy.
