<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>

quite SPA also… 4-cycles!! 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>

I'm with you John. When I was into racing anything vintage had to
be....well...vintage.<br>

<dd>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<br>

<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>
