Guys, I agree with you. I need to learn how to fly the plane. I was just upset that my 'better' computer radio can't do the mixes that everyone else's can do, that's all.
There's nothing I can do about it now anyway except fly my plane with the radio I have.
Also I'm definitely not worried about what happens in this competition. I am very aware that I just started flying. I wanted to go just to observe and learn, but everyone says that you learn so much by competing. If I'm gonna drive 3 hours to see people fly, I might as well bring my plane and join 'em
Again, Ken I think you're absolutely right and I agree with you 100%, as usual

It doesn't mean I'm not disappointed that my radio can't do the mix though
I guess I need to hear this. I did believe all this before, but every time I go to the field people are trying to take my radio and put expo, rates, mixes, etc. and tell me it's a tool, not a crutch. EVERYONE tells me this stuff, then they look at my radio and say "oh." I hate that.
