[NSRCA-discussion] Not bama now

[Dave Burton]

Now I'm a little confused.

I thought SPA didn't like the 16" prop on my Phoenix V at the Asheville
contest because "they" thought there was a performance advantage. Now I find
"they" just didn't like the looks of it?

Oh well!

The 13 inch prop is what is currently being used in the KV range of the
motors being used in either the 5S or 6S range.. we have all the data from
the Chattanooga spa contest... And since a 16 inch prop showed up at a
contest the plane looked like a cartoon...

Jerry, my comments were NOT meant for you -- no apology necessary!  

There are several pieces of miss-information floating around in cyberspace
about our new SPA e-rules.  The attempt is to make electrics comparable to
our glow powered planes.  The "13-inch" rule is not correct, and as someone
pointed out, specifying cell number and prop size leaves the e-power field
wide open.  That is not what we will be doing for this year.  What we will
soon have in place is for the upcoming season, only.  If it does not work to
our satisfaction, there is a majority, as I read things, ready to chop off
the e-head of the e-power sector of the hobby.  We have pretty well
determined that there were NO electric pattern planes in our chosen era of
flying.

Phil,
 
I am sorry if I came across as complaining about the rules, i meant nothing
of the sort.  I was just puzzled by the 13" prop rule for electric.
