In my honest opinion, the public should never be able to vote. I, for one, have never been to any sort of event where that happens
I have at a few fun fly type events, and it's actually kinda funny, People off the street that many are seeing RC planes for the first time picking their favorites,,, typically it ends up being the biggest, not the most accrately detailed plane. Hard to take to seriously, but if you win a bottle of glue and a bowling trophy it's still something to brag about
