Matt,

I just qualified for the U.S. Scale Masters for the first time at the Mint Julep. I had flown some scale over the last 10 years, but this is the first time I tried the Scale Masters. There is no minimum level of detail. If you have less, then you will scale lower. If it is on your documentation, then it better be on the plane to score high. Build to your level of capability, and then just jump in. I think it better to compete and score low if need be but learn something, than to hold off and never get in the game. An object in motion tends to stay in motion.
