if having a tail dragger is no different, then you havent been to top gun and flown in the crosswinds. it is a huge difference and if there isnt an allowance, modelors will quit building models that have a high difficulty ground handling and we all will be flying trikes. same goes for composite models. if there isnt a hit on scores, all you will see are composite models. why build a built up wing otherwise. i fly jets, but to be honest, roll outs are the most scale, as tork never becomes an issue. i think that is already considered when it comes to crosswinds and prop jobs. barry
