Interesting viewpoint from an NSRCA Board member. Sort of speaks volumes.

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.
