-I went with the Onyx Jw because I thought it performed about like a Supra - Jack
What I find interesting is that the Supra is considered the 'bench mark' and then there are the others...cheaper, but with some feature that makes them...better? worth more? almost as good for the cost? There are a lot of reasons to chose something other than the ships that are most proven and popluar, cost being one but in fact the cost is a few lawn mowings or driveway shovelings extra cash away from each other. The number one reason to get something other than the 'bench mark' ship? Because you want to try something else...it makes the hobby that much more fun for you. Second best reason...because IF you enter a contest flying the same ship as the majority....you are left with one less excuse for not having done as well as they all did. Flying the same design as the group can make Man On Man more about the pilot. Maybe takes a little more guts :-) Third Reason...because you still believe that a certain model's foil or weight or span offers some advantage that will tip the time or landing points your way over the other poor saps stuck with that that 'bench mark' sailplane.
