What I didn't mention was that Jason flew Tony Stillman's Panacea in 
the last round.  Jason had never flown this airplane.  Tony copied his 
airplane's data to a new model in his Futaba 14MZ, Jason changed the 
aileron throw and increased the exponential (that's all I 
know/remember).  They were still doing programming as Jason walked to 
the flightline!

It was a sight to see.  Tony is a good pilot, but Jason did maneuvers 
with the Panacea that Tony would love to do.  The only serious flaws 
were the under-rolling of both snap maneuvers by about 30 degrees.  It 
was a sight to see.
