Heck, we couldn't come up with anything that made the two of us happy :-) I do
think it boils down to whether you want a static contest or a flying contest.
Possibly the REAL solution is to have a static contest and a flying contest, keeping
each quite separate excepting a requirement that those flying much have a minimum
static score to fly (but that score doesn't count). This 'minimum' approach is
how the Flying Aces run their mass launch events which are completely flying events
but the mimimums require that the plane look very realistic, have its guns, rigging,
etc.
