Awesome pix dude, nice work!

Just a comment about the series here....
I really enjoy following the series as well, I think the next step is to introduce a junior formulae where they run slower biplanes (a fleet of Pitts would be good), all the same engine, ie: for example, the S2S (with the bigger snout) like ours but single seat which has the downrated version of what those Edges' run (310+hp). So it would be a very close series. But I think to tackle the problem I am getting at would be to rid the field of Edges! This would leave the Extras and MX designs, even make it possible to enter the fray with a single place Giles or even the new Swiss Votecs would be adequate - of course the pilots are all hand selected, so it is only going to grow as the organisers want it to...I just don't like Edges! (they are an astonishing all-rounder ,both aerobatic comp flying and racing, damn it!).
