A static judge's perspective.
I have been privileged to serve as the craftsmanship judge for the Expert category at Top Gun for nearly the past decade. Prior to that, I was a competitor in both the Team and Expert categories. This combined level of participation at this prestigious event provides me the unique opportunity to speak from both sides of the judging table.
Over the years, I’ve watched some pretty magical and impressive things happen at the Top Gun Invitational RC scale event. Models have grown dramatically in size, complexity, sophistication, and quality. The trickle-down effect has obviously impacted the everyday sport scale modeler because the interest in scale is evident right down to the local field level. Obviously, suppliers of product recognize it also; just look at the types of models being offered to the consumer these days. Hard to believe, but some of the ARFs available today rival the models being flown at Top Gun during the early years!
