Help! Toledo And What's Your Opinion !

After leaving Toledo , several opinions were voiced over "Who gets the credit" for award winning models. It appears several winning planes were professionally built, who built it, who covered it , who painted it and who signed the check .And mostly should this practice be allowed.

I have my opinion, what's your's.

MY opinion is that the model should be judged as is.

I feel that it is up to the owner to give proper credit for building, covering etc. If someone (a stranger) entered a plane that was professionally built, covered etc and indicated (falsely) that he built it himself, how would you know it was built by someone else?

I think people win car shows with cars they did not build.

I understand both points, but IMO, it all depends on who is running the show and how they want to run it. Take a look at the classes at Top Gun.

All good points but what can you do about it . No one knows for sure who deserves the credit. I know if I entered a winner but not done by me, I would not rejoice with the win.

Some are abvious that they built it and some not so obvious.

So if ever I enter something there and I win, you will know that I didn't build it.

I'm not that good
