In the "Beat Strega" thread, wwalton suggested an electric air racer class based on Formula 1 air racing.
This sounds like an interesting idea, if somebody can cough up a decent sized bucket of prize money.
I'm thinking that using the Formula 1 rules for inspiration may be a plan: specify a motor, and add minimum and maximum weight limits. Does anybody think that something resembling exciting racing can be made and some benefactor could be convinced to toss in a pool of prize money to start?
Where are Larry Ellison (he's got a pilot's license) and Elon Musk (it's electric!) when we need them?
How would everybody write the rules?
