Hello again,

In competition the sound that you engine makes is not judged. It might make an impression in your overall realism score during your flight routine but there is no line on the judges form for engine sound.

There are always discussions on why this plane scored better over another. The key to the judges insight as to why that might have happened is to study the rules before you compete. There is a section for the judges and a section for the competitor. Static judging is an execise in ''does it match''. Your aircraft is judged on your documentation. So if somthing is shown in your documentation and it is not on your model then it is a down grade and that is true the other way around. Also, try not to fall into this plane looks nicer than that plane trap. That very well may be true but remember Craftsmandhip is only 30 percent of your over all static score for the Sportsman and Expert classes At the Scale Masters it is 35%.

As I mentioned before do your homework first and then build your model to match your documentation as best you can. Oh, yes that have fun thing still holds true.
