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

[Ronald Van Putte]

Yeah, but I live near the birthplace of SPA and they seem to be rabid about their (weird) rules.  The SPA president lives in Tallahassee, FL.

We had a CPA contest at my club field two years ago and it was a ball.  We even had Cliff Hiatt and his son come over from south Florida (I live in the panhandle).  

I flew a Conquest VI with a Hanno Special in it.  It was good fun to swap lies about the good old days.

I really think this will be the only way to bring the better then average sport flier in to competition RC aerobatics. The vast majority don't have the cabbage for Pattern or IMAC and are being left out in the cold. Plus we do only 1-day contests and that also really helps them out.

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.
