My personal throughts were to have 2 classes.
One being the Parkzone type Foamies, 480 size motor,cheap and disposable or easily repairable foam.
The other being a 25 size 2 stroke Glow of the type the Battle Axe is. The are other types of combat planes out there we could use. I think even a design your own would be cool.
Here's a link to a fun combat event maybe a little large for us but you can get the idea.
This is "Total Destruction Combat in Mass
