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?
