Proline or Kraft only, (no 2.4g conversions!). No schneurle engines (can you still find decent cross-flow engines?). Fox plugs. Dubro chrome hub wheels, or the really heavy Kraft wheels. Wooden Top-Flite or Rev-Up props. </DIV>

<DIV>Lets face it, some concessions have to be made to make it at least practical. How many of us would want to dig up a 70s era engine and keep it running? I don't think it is the equipment so much as it is the flying style that they are trying to recreate, and my hat is off to them for that. It won't be everyone's cup-o-tea, but neither is today's pattern.</DIV>

<DIV>Electrics in SPA? Jeez, that's kind of hard to stomach. Next they're going to allow electronic fuel-injection and anti-lock brakes in Vintage Sports Car Racing. LOL</DIV>
