The the problem with that is everyone who races does so because they are of a competitive personality. We would all want that points advantage so tow things would happen. One, most guys would start implementing the scale details. Then the gripes would start about judging, favoritism and all that can of worms. The rest of the guys would decide that the either didn't have the additional time to invest in their airplanes or decide they didn't want to invest the additional time and quit. IMO going forward with pushing more scale airplanes is going to drive guys away.

Here is is my solution. If you want to build airplanes with a more realistic outline and add more details to satisfy your personal,preferences then by all means please do so. I like a scale airplane just as much as the next guy. The guys who have taken a liberty here and there for the sake of ease of construction or whatever the reason are not at any advantage. The breakout keeps the playing field level. I can't speak for anyone else but My Macchi was developed with the Unlimited Triangle series in mind and was designed to be competitive in a non breakout series. There was some complaints about my lack of a belly scoop so I put one on, if the SAMs series officials ask me to change my wing platform I will happily do so but I am NOT going to scrap my current tooling to satisfy a couple guys which of them only one actually races in the series.
