Icemanjr92, They won't get that they need to be invited to compete at Top Gun, either!

This thread is not just about Top Gun! Although in my mind, Top Gun is certainly the epitome. It is about competition with Scale R/C Airplanes. Also, I don't understand how people who obviously know nothing about this activity can come here and say, well I think this is how it should be done. There are rules for Top Gun, Scale Masters and AMA Scale already in place. If your interest is in competing in R/C Scale, why not first read the rules pertaining to all the venues and make a decision based on the set of rules which best fit your idea about how a contest should be run. Stop whinning about the presumption that ARFs can't compete, or, wondering if you can buy an airplane from someone who can still build them and cheat the system by saying you built it and competing with it!

Yes, there is a bit of "On your honor" involved. If your winning a trophy with someone elses hard work and effort wouldn't feel pretty shallow to you, then more then the loss of people who know how to build model airplanes is at stake here!

Oh, before I forget, an important point: I think you have to be invited to compete at Top Gun!
