RE: Scale sound
In Scale comps there are marks awarded for "Authentic Sound" and I am always baffled as to how the judges can be asked to award marks in this category.
None of the models I see at comps come anywhere near to the sound of a full size, and in most cases the judges will never have heard one anyway, so I don't see the point in awarding a score (especially since I fly electric scale and usually score next to zero !!)
