[RCSE] 2-Meters thoughts

[Mike Fox]

There has been and probably always be comments on liking and disliking 2-meters. On the normal flying day I don't fly my 2-meter. Why??  I want a plane that has performance. Goes a long ways away and still see it. 2-meters just can not do that as easy as unlimited ships.   My take on 2-meters is they are a big challenge to make the target times. At contests like the Nats, Not every round is a given for the best of pilots. This being said, I have flown the Nats with Daryl Perkins and we both drop rounds and still be in contention for a win. In unlimited, you drop a round and your out of it (except this year). Again to me, making it a more or a challenge, yet not have to be perfect.   I hope 2-meter continue on, and I think they will, Just because they are so different from the Unlimited ships. Very Challenging!   By the way,,,,Second place was not a Duck, it was a Laser 2MC from NSP.   2-meter this year was a blast for me. Probably more fun than past Nats.   Mike Fox
