This "bigger and bigger" as resulted in many flying fields being 
lost.  Both because of "big" planes being flown wrecklessly and because of 
noise.

For an answer to this lets take a look at what happened with the engine 
size rule was lifted.  What happened to cost?  What happened to average 
aircraft size?  Both went up.

BTW you mentioned being competitive with a $1500 plane.  If true why are 
the "top boys" flying planes were the radio/receiver/servos along cost $1500?
