Vance and I are developing criteria for judging
alternative engines at air shows. Namely Camarillo CA
July 23.

Here is our preliminary list

Distance flown in.
Number of hours.
Innovation.
Motor mount design.
cooling system design.
workman ship.
appearance.
degree of difficulty.
performance

Did I forget anything Vance?
Can anybody add to this list?

I think there should be some consideration about stuff that is home
built and/or commercially manufactured.
Not that one is better than the other, just that it should be noted.

Safety issues
Systems simplicity vs complexity

Rino

Simplicity... elegance yes. By all means.
