So how can an ARF beat a scratch build in competition? Just a newb asking a question.
Some events don't have any appearance points or scale fidelity judging and just go on flight performances and pilot skill. Well setup and trimmed out ARFs can be (and are) very competitive in those events. ex. Q-500 racing.
Gotcha. Thanks for explaining that. I love to watch a nice, scale flight, no matter how the aircraft came to be. I'll probably build later on in life, when I'm retired, or when I get tired of chasing the missus around the house!!
