Just to clear cajun up and not hi-jack the thread... but look at the bottomw of "Citabria's" post in the signature it says Fester. He used to fly under Citabria, way back when, He was as uber as he is now.
But as far as the money, I've noticed the skill of some players jump. I don't know, but I was seen some odd manuevers, but then again I don't play as much as I have, and my skills are very sub par right now. But never knew an la7 could roll with an a5, in multiple attempts at a reversal, that bird flopped around as if it was a 190. And some spits with some amazing E characteristics. Maintaining speed and climb, with a nice closure rate vs a g10 at around 18k, Unless they were a coule +k above me.. then I'd understand, because they were going fast, at a co alt engagement tryed to even the E levels, then just climb away (had 50% gas left) but no go.
Money goes to the top 15 is my vote, I just wont be seeing any of it
