[NSRCA-discussion] LONG conversation with Joe Walker on NATs, sequence proposals, and other NSRCA issues.

[Ronald Van Putte]

I might be doing SPA right now if the rules weren’t so messed up.  No retracts or pipes, but you may use .90 cu in+ 4-strokes!  Many of the Daddy Rabbit, Intruder and Dirty Birdy airplanes have dimensions that are in excess of the allowable discrepancies from the original models, particularly the fuselage length.  A friend had a Curare and a Super Curare, but only the Curare was acceptable and the only real difference was in the canopy area.  Go figure.

I walked away from the SPA more than 20 years ago, but, even with the messed up rules, I might go back.
