Default RE: The Physics of Flying

This thread is about aerodynamic schooling. I challenged it's merits in terms of both time expended and also in terms of practical, real world application.
A speed contest between two .061 [1cc] powered planes is the purest, most basic form of practical knowledge applied...NO...?
There is only the stop watch, the doppler recordings and the onboard telemetry to dispute....no judges, no politics, no white loafers and no "Team Futaba" shirts.
If 1cc is too small for you, then we could shift up to 6.5 cc [.40] size. That would UP the ante though.
