<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>I have no problem with what others fly if
it's in the rules, even if it's a 4-cycle. If I ever do an SPA plane it will
have a 61 (or 55) AND look like the original, my choice. But there are a few
things that I do think are an issue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>The rules state that you can fly Novice and
not be a member, all other classes you must. So now if I want to go fly again at
an SPA contest, I will have to fly Novice. I'm not sure many of the Novice
pilots will like that. And had I know about this rule before the end of the
contest in GA, I would have only been Ryan's PB and helped out where ever
needed.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>Some of the ducks just look like
geese.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>Some of the 91's that are flying are
'blue-printed motors'. I also understand that these are not commercially
available to any Joe Schmoe. Well, that seems a bit unfair to me, but again, I
would only fly a 2-stroke anyway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>But the thing I really enjoyed was the
contest itself. I had a blast and nice and relaxing. It was the break I was
looking for. Go 4lb Kaos'...lol</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=3>Well, Guys,<BR><BR>I was preparing a response to
Ron Van Putte, but it appears this is not the venue for that. Everyone
is free to choose with whom to associate, and while we in SPA are sorry to
have lost the people who have chosen not to fly with us, that was/is their
choice. If you check with Jason Shulman, you might find a different
perspective.<BR><BR>I won't go into the many discussions I have had with
fellow SPAers about the direction of AMA pattern, as directed by the NSRCA --
but they are frequent, and those of us having them choose not to fly AMA
pattern - but we don't publicly criticize it, either. I judged several
rounds at an AMA meet last season, and while I really like the turn around
part, the judging reinforced my decision to fly SPA, only.<BR><BR>BTW, if
anyone is interested in some 2-meter stuff (engines and airframes) you can
email me privately...it would be great stuff @ a reasonable price for entry
into 2-meter pattern, and up through Advanced.<BR><BR>At 10:23 AM 11/25/2009,

There is not much challenge flying the old pattern with a overpowered (90
4c) engine. That was what made it hard! The scavenge-pot 60’s
didn’t really have enough power, so you had to FLY the airplane…. If they
are allowing 90 4c engines, why not allow ANY power plant!<BR> <BR>Tony

<DD>I don't understand the 13" prop bit either. On my Axi 4130-20
on 6 cells a 13" prop gives me around 500 watts.<BR><BR>
<DD>Jerry<BR><BR>
<DD>Scott, What is the reason behind a 13 inch prop limit for electric?
There<BR>
<DD>isn't any limit on prop sizes for IC engines is there? A flyer with
an IC<BR>
<DD>engine searches for the best prop size to the particular plane and
engine<BR>
<DD>combo, it seems that electric flyers should have the same
flexibility.<BR>
