I thought the airplane vs. pilot debate was settled years ago when Joe Wurts won the 2-Meter Class at Visalia two years in a row flying a "foamie".

Normalize weather by having each round flown at the same time (like HLG). Two prizes: one for best plane, one for best pilot. I'd guess that they'll go to the same guy a lot of the time, but I'd like to not have to guess. -J RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
