* A Par like Golf. We know that X if flown almost perfectly will only get an 8 at best. So 8 is the Par for that plane on that maneuver.
* Handicap based on aircraft performance - Set. We know a Citabria would get a 20% bump in scores all the time. An MX would get 0%
* Handcap based on aircraft performance - Variable. We set the highest performance aircraft as 0% and work down from there. So if the highest performance plane was an 8KCAB, then it gets a 0% and the Citabria might get 5%.
So while my ideas may be stupid….. They are based on established practices in other sports, some of which I am pretty damn good at.
