Are the models not judged to some sort of documentation? In flying scale events
the documentation is, theoretically, the 'rule' and even if the plane is correct and
the documentation incorrect, points are deducted. This is an attempt to remove
the need for in depth knowledge of each aircraft from the judge's credentials.

Many times I've looked at a Datafile photo and said to myself,
wonder how many points you'd lose if you really made that fabric sag like
that. Guess you've done the experiment :-)
