Nah, I'll leave it so long as long as folks remain civil and no guns-on-R/C-models posts are brought into it. Our electric bretheren are still flying combat, even though they aren't toting streamers.

For the sake of discussion, let's consider the opponents. The electric devices used for "laser" combat aren't practical for glow powered craft due to the engine's vibration and to the optics being easily fouled by fuel residue, so that leaves us with electrics only. Now, if the fight is between a Fighter Bird and whatever electric heli is being used, I'd say the heli has the upper hand. Slap that combat module onto one of those fancy 3D electric airplanes and the fight would be far more even.

No matter how you look at it, there are easier and less expensive ways to fly R/C combat.

IMHO, the real fun factor is when the opponents' machines are close in terms of capability. Mix in something that obviously has an edge over the others and the fun factor rapidly vanishes.
