Not really contest information , but maybe a new flyer to compete at the contest. Sarah Davis, My daughter helper her friend Dustin solo last Sunday ,  at our Home flying circle  . A former r/c flyer with moderate stick  time ,said that he liked the way you could " Fly " the model verses the way the R/C planes feel .

Good observation from a new pilot ...
