Many Questions, some Answers
>>I see mufflers hanging out ... does that hurt the static judging?
Should not. A muffler is a necessary evil according to the SWRA so it had better not cost you points.
>>static judging part bothered me some.
>>Doing away with the static like mentioned above would help.
I made a suggestion that static judging be used only to resolve ties. The process of getting there on Friday to wait around for hours while static judging grinds slowly is not my idea of fun. Safety inspections could be done Saturday morning (or Friday if you show up early). When the event is finished, all ties would be resolved by 3 static judges in a huddle. They could sort it out in 5 minutes. This system would eliminate the high static score trophy.
>>How about the airfoil? If it's radically different, does that cause a problem with the judging?
I have never heard of this happening. I cannot remember any judge checking out my wing airfoil. I have lost points because my tail feathers were too thin.
>>Is there a discussion forum where the SWRA guys hang out?
Not that I know of. Maybe it’s here.
>>Do you know if they had a fiberglass fuselage?
>>Do you know if someone kits that white mustang at the top of the page
My memory is not that good. I will get the answers to these two questions and post them here.
