On the Score thread, Eric V. asked if anyone knew who designed the Score. For another reason I was rooting around the Top FLite site and found a video showing the Score in action. In one scene you can see the pilot. Here is a screen grab of his face so I was curious if anyone knows who he is and whether it might provide a clue to the Score Designer. By the way here is a link to the videos. The links are down at the bottom of the page.

Here is the pilot flying the Score. As a couple of side comments, that second loop was sure close to the ground!

Mmm, power lines.

I'm really hoping the guy in the Score video, and the guys in the other ARF video's weren't involved in the design stages.  I would hope that a manufacturer would take the time to find someone with more expertise in the field to design products.  Look at the places these promo videos are filmed.  Also notice the people flying the planes are using whatever junk generic equipment the big R/C supply houses carry, the stuff that most of us wouldn't be caught dead using.  Then look at how they're flying.  It seems more like someone at Great Planes went down to the mail room and drafted someone to go goof off with the new product so they could get a promo video.  The design is most likely imported just like the rest of the product. 

I don't think it was someone from the stock room, since there aren't too many people who can fly inverted right off the bat!
