What would you fly or buy ??? I've owned 2 of each and prefer the Pilot. Both the Sabre2 and the Pilot fly great. Both of the Sabre2's I owned ( a 210 and a 190) gave me off heading openings at least 25 - 30% of the time and a couple real hard slammers from each, but had an awesome flare. Both Pilots (a 210 and a 188) opened on heading 99% of the time, fly great, and while the flare isn't quite as powerful, as long as you flare all the way you get great landings. I just bought my 3rd Pilot (ZPX this time) and am eagerly waiting to get it into the air.
