Just got back from a awesome F3b practice weekend on the east coast. Yes, the east coast <G>. Anyway, keep reading how one moldie is better than another, and how this is better than that. Everyone seems to be an expert on what is the best. Well, in reality, most planes out there have potential for something. For example, the "flying trainwreck" foam/carbon homebuilt set the second fastest time at the IF3F in Torry pines (beat only by a Masterpiece). Yep, this beat up plane had a faster time than 98% of the moldies there that weekend. I can also name several other examples of "low tech" or old designs that are perfect for flying on a top level. Look at the V-Ultra! Still very competitive I have a feeling. So what does this prove? Only that while everyone may claim they have the "best" plane out there, the pilot and the pilot's needs are what matters. How about explaining how the plane flies (faster, twitchier, smooth, stable, ...etc) instead of just how many contests that plane one. Hey, a foamie has been known to win an Unlimited contest, but does that make it the top plane in the world? Lets put some useful information out here so that people can learn and make choices. Tell us some good stuff, perhaps that plane that looked like a piece of trash just might be the best plane out there <G>. Jason Werner RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
