Interesting concept. Full scale tried it with a plane called appropriately the One Design. There are a few models available for this plane. Didn't catch on.

Practice will make more difference in the outcome of a contest more than the amount of money spent if the equipment is of a somewhat reasonable type. There is little difference in the current breed of aerobatic type planes when produced in model type. Everybody has a favorite. Would a race be as interesting with only one type of car? Probably not. The top place qualifier at last years Masters flew a 35% plane. Every other pilot flew a 40% which was believed to be a necessity.
