Gary,

This would require the FAC changing it is rules. The model only has to
be recognizable so that is why people fudge the outlines.

Current 2012-2013 FAC Nocal rules

NO-CAL PROFILE

A. Design considerations:

4. Motor sticks shall not exceed fuselage length, however, the prop may
be positioned at the tip of a scale
