Does anyone know if this idea ever caught on. The idea was to mimic full scale IAC where the One Design could be built realitivity cheap with a max engine displament so pilot skill was judge more so than other factors. The R/C IMAC One Design was going to be held to a 1.20 displacment (weight is 10.5 to 13 lbs with a 72 inch wing).

It seems that in today's climate the One Design has pros and cons; 1) pros: those that cannot afford big expensive planes could still compete and be judged mostly on flying skill but 2) cons: there is a thirst for 3D and it is readily avaiable for those with the skill.

Just wondered if the One Design philosophy was alive out there any where?
