As you note, Tim, it's a matter or perspective. I've done both types and haven't noticed much in the way of one shape or another having as much effect, one way or the other. Flying well seems to trump both.

I could see it making a few points difference one way or another if you were particularly good at precision or at "swoopy", but not to the point where I'm going to go build a plane just for that reason.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

I've always thought that the Genesis should have been painted to look like a Barracuda (the fish),

Eh, another Mopar detractor.

Personally, I want a stunt plane that's styled off of the Edsel.

Knowing you, Tim, I'm somehow not surprised.

And I want everyone here to know that Randy's planes look perfectly normal to me!

Not sure how I feel about that. But, as Tim is a perfectly fine judging partner, I will say: "Thanks".
