Actually, the AMA is VERY much enforcing and placing limitations on giant scale races. Pretty much the only way to be able to meet the distance requirements set forth by AMA for racing is to hold the venue at full scale airports and very few people are actually out on the flightline
Unless the restrictions apply
all the time on giant scale race planes, rather than just when an actual event is held, the above comparison is apples & oranges. Same with your example about racing > .40 engined models. Jets are significantly restricted
on an every-day basis, not just when we decide to get together and have an event.
Well, have fun with the rest of this discussion ... I'm off to Kittyhawk for a week.
Later,
