Industry noted very quickly Quickee 500 popular quite natural manufacturers would provide products aimed improving event focus case revolved around engines related items particular found mufflers carbs fueled pun intended controversy recent concern centers around engine seems consistently produce speeds far above models using other brand engines seems reflected fact record time event dropped 11 seconds less year shortly after specific engine question became available Now have clubs creating deviations contests include outlawing engine question handicapping requiring fly separate class Additionally have individuals questioning safety event maintain models flying much faster G loads airframes exceed originally designed skill required fly course speeds preclude safe operation newcomer racing have very messy situation Clubs CDs tearing hair out trying figure what offer contests Fliers upset CDs clubs because providing too enough deviations group modelers upset because dont have

change evolved quickly difficult some individuals incorporate change Remember however Contest Boards given mandate restrict inhibit technological development someone produces better mousetrap fits mousetrap guidelines shouldnt use 2 At risk belaboring point entry level events will stay way dont limit flies Q-500 several options seem true would design another new event goes rule book size Another option would devise pilot classifications such novice expert very logical choice clubs already doing part contests about class using same Q-500 airframe 25 engine size power allowing absolute novices fly event 3 Remember no matter what rules come up someone will find loophole nature man Some individuals have uncanny ability read language printed develop means circumventing basic intent
