Weeelllllll, it's SIG's field, contest, and rules, so they have as much right as anybody to run local events the local way. And if the reigning champion won with electric rather glow, nothing changed.
Can you answer this?
How many Skyray Carrier entries in 2006? 2007?
How many do you expect in 2008? Any uptick could be scored as a success.
If there are five electric Skyrays in 2008, with each one doing the 75 MPH max, hovering for the entire time limit of the flight, and easily settling down on the deck, how will they pick a winner? Maybe Sig needs to get five 1st Place trophies.
I'm not saying electric can't be done, only that it's making this event trivial.
I don't have a dog in this race. I consider "Skyray Carrier" to be a beginners' entry level fun event and I concede it to the intended market.
I only replied, in the spirit of logical debate, because I was addressed by name.
