Even from here I can hear that tune :-)

 

If size limits get reduced, what does everyone do with their current 2M
setups?  At least in the past when a size/weight/displacement limit was
changed, one could still fly their existing equipment.  

If you prevent that, I would predict a major drop out of flyers for a while.
Besides I really like the way the new planes fly.

Of course I sold my PT Cruiser (with flames) to get something larger to
transport the new planes :-)

Hi John,

A year or so ago, I puit together an Excelleron 90 for a review and eventual
sale to a newbie.

Boy! Was it nice to drop a plane into the minivan in one piece!

It was almost as good as when a Phoenix 8 would fit into the back of a
hatchback Camaro in one piece.

 

Given that everyone will build or buy up to the maximum size limit,

is there a good enough reason to push on the rules bodies to legislate
Pattern plane sizes back down?

How about 1.6 or 1.7 meters square?

Will this affect cost and complexity enough to have a beneficial effect on
participation?

Or am I just whistling Dixie?

 

later,

Dean

There seems to be a growing trend toward smaller airplanes among a lot of
folks. I sure am enjoying the 90 size Boxer I bought from Ed Miller last
summer. Less hassle to transport, assemble and fly. That means I can fly
more!
