The small combats because they are mentally fast.

Ambition:
To retire at 35. Buy a sailing boat and travel the world doing radical sports.

Why PKD:
I love the Combat because you get to fly them not just hold onto the handles. They are challenging to fly but then the rewards are ballistic. The World has yet to see the full power of the PKD Combat!
