Wouldn't that be a neat thing. Pattern planes brought back to a .60 limit.... Ah, the good old days...

Nah, too many folks with deep pockets willing to pay big bucks for high-end equipment. Try to force sizes and costs back down would upset the cottage industries making bucks on it....

Without those $100 digital servos, $800 kits, $800 injected glow motors, $1000 radios, and all that, they'd actually have to fly a straight vertical line with nothing more than their own eyes and thumbs...

That would never do....

(Yes, I do have one of those $1000 radios, but none of the other items mentioned...)
