<DIV>True, Bob. But setting up rules, then "bending" them doesn't seem
quite right to me, either. In the case of engines, I can understand, (in
many cases, they simply are no longer available) but in the case of airframes,
changing hinge lines, lengthening the fuselage, clipping the wings, enlarging
the rudder, making a tail-dragger into a tricycle gear, (although I blame Sig
for that) etc. etc. doesn't impress me either. And, the patterns aren't
like we used to fly, either, in "olden times". (In fact, I don't know when
this stuff they're flying came in; certainly after my era.) However,
if you take off the nice, new Tru-Turn spinners, the propellor nuts are like the
ones we used to use. (In some cases, anyway.)</DIV>

<DIV>Well, lets keep it completely vintage. Non computer
radios. 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>I'm with you John. When I was into racing anything vintage had to
be....well...vintage.</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>
