RE: EF-1 at Nats
Good points. The class was meant as a "fun" event to attract more racers...whether former racers or new ones. It wasn't meant to be an all out serious racing event. As such, there are several things that were done to help make it easier and cheaper. Sure, a different motor with a 5S Zippy pack may be less than the 4s TP's...but what happens when people decide they want to use 5S TP's? It's instantly more expensive than what we have. Personally I'd rather see the rules allow thinner trailing edges and airfoild tail surfaces. Will that keep me from being interested in having fun, and get me to complain that the event totally misses the boat? Nope, I've still got a Miss Dara kit to build and will have fun with it.
