This discussion has been about the planes and coming up with a set of rules that will enable beginners. Perhaps it would be better to consider developing the skills required. In other modeling competition like RC Pattern the beginners are separated from the advanced flyers by having classes that are based on skill.
Since time of flight is the criteria for indoor freeflight, is it possible to establish beginner, intermediate, advanced and master classes (for say EZB), advancing to the next level by achieving a consistent record of flight time for a particular type and category of space? It would have to allow for different levels of ability or "talent" by letting the modeler choose the class he/she wishes to compete in but from which he has to achieve the required level to advance.
