The problem with the static is not the way it is judged except one respect and that the judges need to see all the planes as a group at one time. Static is usually a trickle in come when your here thing. Static should be done after the first flights of the competitors not before. Static is usually done fri before and up to the first flights on Sat. If someone comes in late with a compeitive plane the vib of the judges will be slightly different than the day before. They are human and do a great job, but I have seen them have to award a 100 because they were a little too high the day before. I think the judging is as fair as it can be, but day to day everyone is a slightly different person and that can matter. I like supper tough judging; I dont want a freebee.
