Excuse my lack of knowledge on electrics, as well as current gas-powered models. It would seem to me mixing both into one is not wise; two totally different technologies.
My other concern is the lack of clarity of classes, rules and model requirements to participate. Having a possibly new interest in carrier; it has been quite a challenge to track down a clear set of rules, scoring structure, and bonus points for all classes...official (AMA) as well as non-official like Nostalgic.
Don't understand how we can expect carrier to grow or even maintain itself without clarity, rule definitions, and a working NCS site that is easily accessible to the average person who has an interest in participating in carrier events.
Please don't let Paul's negative attitude deter you. His assumptions on electrics are incorrect and he doesn't want to listen to the people that actually know what they are talking about. If you have questions or are confused or need help please reach out.
The rules for all official events are on the ama website
https://www.modelaircraft.org/events/competition-resources/competition-regulations. That is Profile, Class 1, and Class 2, Glow and electric. The only rules that aren't posted are for the unofficial events ie 15, Sportsman, NWS 40, Skyray, and Nostalgia however a quick search on here will find most of those. The website issue is being worked on, Bill Calkins was the one that handled the website and unfortunately after he passed away the website shut down. Up until that point there was a working website with all info.
On the mixing of glow and electric typically they dont run head to head they usually do a record ratio based on previous top 20 scores.
It comes down to practicing with what you have and taking all input for improvements. I would love to talk to you at Brodaks if you will be there I will be the one (hopefully, if I can get it done) with the obnoxiously loud twin for Class 1.
