RE: Sebastiano Silvestri new F3A plane
I'd be to afraid of a midair at a contest. 2 planes taking up the same space at the same time when we run 2 lines. It's a formula for disaster. A few years ago they had a pattern contest in the south that had either 3 or 4 midairs in one weekend.
Rusty Dose midaired his Oxai Zeque at the D4 vs: D5 shootout last year. It went into a Temptation and let me tell you it don't matter what they cost in a midair. Both planes landed safely but the Z was in much worse shape. Well in fairness the prop on the Tempation got into the bottom of the Z's fuse. Mike
