Ef1 would be a good class to get into, there's not a lot of people flying it.
If you have everything prepared and be consistent it wouldn't be too difficult for a new comer to win an EF1 day.
The thing with EF1 models is, while you can land one at McCoy park, it takes some concentration and nerves of steel. These birds really have to be flown with respect especially when at low air speed. You can't just give them heaps of elevator in a low speed turn you've just got to keep every thing nice and smooth and not commit to landing until your approach is spot on. Just keep going round until it's right, cause you have to put then down nice and gently.

Thunder chicken........ If you want to build from a kit. It's probably a very good machine and you could make it very light which means fast !!
