The over all goal is to promote this and not set it back. In the old days of Q40 they used to judge the planes and some even had a 3 view or patterns for the planes. when a guys plane didn't fit they would protest and say the pattern wasn't correct.

Now I like scale airplanes also but most of the time I don't have the time to put in them. My definition of scale could be that if the real plane had flaps then a race plane should have them too. Now what I don't do is voice my opinion about it.
Remember this is a hobby and we all like different things if we didn't then we would all be racing the same plane. Heck I want to race a twin one day also but just don't have the time.

The main thing is what we have now has been working and IS WORKING well so why change that and kill it.
Now I think what would be cool also is if we had a scale contest with a racing as a separate event from the SAMS series. have a race in march before SAMS.
