I guess if you see earlier we had swept back in the classic F3A models people were smarter those days... but u see now when CPLR came up with the Axiome.. a swept back wing u will see many designer will use it.. they are blind jerks... just copy.... the advantage is as far as i know the rolling characteristics & stall is improved...
People want to stick to the old style what others follow they don't want to experiment with new designs.. CPLR is the one dedicated F3A pilot who dose a lot of testing & R&D with his models & comes out with flying colors.....
Obviously you never flew one of the original Osmose'...after some major mods the Osmose Evo is a nice flying plane, but changes had to be made.
The swept wing in pattern is not a new concept. Guys used it 30 years ago. The planes will follow what is needed for the sequences they are flying. I personally have seen 3 Axiome's fly and was not impressed with any of them. I've watched the video's of CPLR and he flew his very well, but just because he flies something well, doesnt mean it works for everyone else.
