Hi Barry
Yes that is the fear I have, that the perception a composite plane is faster, will stop new people getting involved and maybe even some existing competitors giving up.
It is very strange that the then standing pylon SIG, pushed for the inclusion of the composite plane in our sport quickie class. I can not seen a beneficial reason for this decision.
