I know I'm probably the odd man out here but I enjoy flying scale and relax more doing it. I believe it's because a good scale plane must be flown more in line with a full size plane and cannot just be tossed around the sky, which is easy to do. I have scale and non-scale stuff but I kind of liken flying scale to flying and sport planes as playing. Just my 2 cents.
Don't get me wrong, I fly only scale most of the time. My Extra is a Semi- Sport Scale. I'm a little more stressed with the scale because of all the work and detail I put in my scale planes to make it look more real. So I'm careful, and fly and putt around. When I show up with my Extra, I just slap it together and go crazy. (With-in the AMA rules.)
If I crash... no biggie with my Extra. If I crash my Scale planes, then I'm devistated.
