Sebring 2022, Sportsman Category Winner, BIG ED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! Not gonna lie, I enjoy beating Extra 300's and Pitts S2C's in a Decathlon. But it was great fun, with 1 practice flight and 3 scored sequences in the box, all in crazy winds.
Great timing too, as I am about to go for an extended period without an airplane.
 
I think that ACA ought to give you a demo! Your participation on this site recounting your cross country adventures, your acro practice and competition, and your very valuable contributions to all things Decathlon are inspirational and have made you an ambassador for the type. Congratulations on this achievement!
 
LOL, I wouldn't make too much of it. It was a bunch of first time competitors and kids flying with their instructors.

From a flying perspective, the guy who placed#2 in Intermediate in a Decathlon is far more impressive. It took a hell of a lot of stick skills to do that against experienced contest pilots in much better planes.
 
Same was true when I competed. If you have unlimited bucks you can buy an Extra 300 - but unlimited bucks does not make you a superior pilot, nor does an MD, contrary to the opinions of many.
Ed worked at it.
