Default RE: Is combat dead?


ORIGINAL: iflyj3

One of the local clubs does full contact combat with Stykers. They fly each Thursday night during the flying season. There will be 10 to 12 planes in the air at the same time. An informal scoring method was developed and a tally is run for the entire season. Two interesting points I have observed are 1) There is not as much contact as you would expect and 2) They average age of the pilots is real low compared to the average age of a typical R/C club.
Maybe the age is low because Like Cherios, Kombat is for Kids. Ya know those Agressive typs with, Murder in their eyes.
