Agree with that statement. I really appreciate when I see someone that is not flying a fire breathing Pitts, Extra, Zivco, etc. because you know they are working HARD to make the stuff look good. There is a guy on the airshow circuit doing a routine in a stock, 220hp Stearman...and he does a beautiful job - really smooth, nice looking routine. Most people watch and because there are no tumbles, and no vertical penetration, they are bored...the pilots who watch are in awe, because they know how hard he is working to do what he is doing.
