With all the talk about the high costs of our planes and equipment...consider this.

What if there was a class that kept the current two meter, weight, and engine displacement rules.
But limited the radio to a straight four channel with no mixes or rates. No pumped engines. Even limit Nitro to 10%. (Hard one to enforce) Could go more bonkers and say wood only fuse instead of pricey laminates.

Many current designs would still work with modified control surfaces. A thicker trailing edge could produce an effective expo feel.

Don't get me wrong. I currently compete with some of the highest tech equipment available.

Just a what if?
