RE: ARFs in SCALE CONTESTS
a question i have been wanting to ask pertaining to the arf for competition rule is, can you go too far and it no longer be able to compete in a.r.f.? i'm building a skyshark p-40 because i needed an "N" to use. but i have done a total rebuild of the plane to fix alot of the off scale things and to scale it as i would if i built it. heres a list so far
the rudder re-built to scale, including the trim tab, fairing, and rivets under the fabric.
both elevators re-shaped, trim tabs, rivet detail and re-covered in fabric.
sheeted horizontal stab
sheeted wing
wheel well detail
ailerons rebuilt to scale
trashed the flaps and built scale split flaps
sliding canopy and cockpit
re-shaped tailwheel opening and doors
hidden all the linkages
filled the panel lines and rivets and re-primed the fuse, panel lines too wide and not good looking at all from factory
adding all the lights and bomb drops (dino the lens set looks great and easy to work with) thank's for the help and christmas card!
since i don't know the arf rule, will this still qualify?
i race boats (the real thing) so i only have a few months a year to build an airplane so arf's work out good for me because of my time issues. i do plan to go to some event this year but i have no idea how to enter this plane. so someone who is involved in this tell me have i gone too far? thank's guy's jeff.
