f the dog is imac, the tail is a whole lot bigger than the dog - the number of pilots buying a specific model for competition is a tiny fraction of the total sales. so there are good reasons the mfrs don't look too closely at the imac rules, one of them is that the imac rules change - the 10% came and went and now is back again. it would be awfully expensive to change molds to accomodate rules changes - so why bother? one major mfr told me flat out he didn't pay attention to the imac rules, his company's airplanes were toc legal and that was all that mattered...and now there is no TOC. no one comes to an imac event actually expecting to have to produce scale documentation, nor are the CD's trained on how to read it - let alone take the time. It's enough that the airplane looks like something full scale, but beyond that, the rule is pretty meaningless and has been for a long while.

team vegas? i seem to remember a few bottom feeders that claimed allegiance to a clan of depraved souls by that name.
