So this has come up quite a bit as builders start to build a kit so they can compete in scale compatitions. I am hoping that we can start a conversation about competitive kit building, how to and experiences of former builders/ competitors of scale planesand even judges.
I am getting ready to start competing and will gain some experience this year by going to our local scall masters qualifier.
My plan is to concentrait on one plane, the P-47 D-25 I have built three
The kit of my choice will be a Meister P-47 as I am working on my resurch and I will start with the modle P-47 D-25 then chose the scheme.
I am starting with a modified TFGS P-47 RTC and compete in the sports scale ARF division to gain expieriance.
Most just go to fun flys and fly ins but this is not competitive, to win best of show, or pilots choice is not the same as competing in a scale masters event.
So I am looking for a conversation about building scale kits. I know that the judging can be confusing and I understand that one will be replicating a spicific full scale plane with documentation. Also flying is a big part of competing.
so if you have cometeted and have something to share or if you are interested in competing and building spicificly for compitition, please share.
