I switched between the Curare and a Viper on a daily basis the last 6
weeks of last Summer because I thought I'd have to go from the Viper in
Huntsville to the Curare for the SPA Masters in Knoxville the next
weekend.  Turns out, the Curare grooves well enough and flies slowly
enough that it wasn't a huge shock.  Going from Curare to Viper does
make me appreciate the Viper more, but the gap is not so great as with
other SPA planes I've owned.

Thanks Steve, I can imagine that after flying these little guys at near
mach 1, going back to current pattern would be like waiting for water to
boil. Hey that's not a bad thing; all kinds of time is good

YES to both.  I've flown both.  I've killed both.  I think Jim witnessed
both spectacular moments.  Both planes fly well with a 4c.

Like all other organizations The SPA has it's own set of growing
pains,just like NSRCA.
All the classes in SPA use affordable planes, which makes it good for
entry level pattern.
SPA caught on ok in the southeast,but slow elsewhere.There needs to be a
sparkplug to get SPA started in other areas.

Jimmy is the Curare SPA legal? Or the Atlas? These were of mid 70's
vintage but I don't remember exact timing
