I woul really love to see a Scale Goodyear
event using full fuselage .15 size planes. LA 15, or a comparable engine, with no modifications allowed. 10% nitro max. Heck, I wouldn't mind doing the old 15 size Goodyear if the engines were restricted to a plain bearing off the shelf engine. I still have the old American Modeler that "introduced" this event..........
Strange thing is that I am really itching to build a "scale" plane, but to have it either be a stunt ship or a racer.
For the 15 full fuselage event I would like to see a pretty strict adherence to scale outlines, no real deviation to help the planes. No hot gloves or fast fills. They would have to be built with the original markings and paint scheme of the plane as it actually competed. Take the engine completely out of the equation, box stock, and have scale judging points to add to the score.
I do have a very scale stunt plane in the beginning stages with help from Ron Burn. If all works out, it will be KILLER!
