if having a tail dragger is no different, then you havent been to top gun and flown in the crosswinds. it is a huge difference and if there isnt an allowance, modelors will quit building models that have a high difficulty ground handling and we all will be flying trikes. same goes for composite models. if there isnt a hit on scores, all you will see are composite models. why build a built up wing otherwise. i fly jets, but to be honest, roll outs are the most scale, as tork never becomes an issue. i think that is already considered when it comes to crosswinds and prop jobs. barry

it's been done to quote level the playing field.
jets have pretty much dominated the event as of late and the lumber swingers think it is due to take off/landings .
they ought to try bringing one in at 40 mph to keep it from stalling in a cross wind , with no prop wash over the surfaces.
we will see how the scores
go this year. i think the jets will still be at the top of the scores
at least all the jet guys will be on the same page weather comp wings or not!

Just curious as to what does RCSB stand for as mentioned in an earlier post on this thread?

rc scale builder ,another rc site ,usually for kit bulders. They have a support system where you must pay a minimum of 20 to be a site supporter. They really keep things almost bash free over there. Low tolerance for crap, its worth the donation though
