<div>Hey Ron. If SPA was going on around here I wouldn't care about the rules. Our CPA contests are not really about models but about the fun of one maneuver per pass. We let just about anything fly. 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.

</div>
<div>Try it, I bet you'll love it. Whole different type of event and people.</div>

<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word">I might be doing SPA right now if the rules weren’t so messed up. No retracts or pipes, but you may use .90 cu in+ 4-strokes! 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.
