Status: offline 		What kind of participation in this class is being experienced? Are there enough competitors to make this a worth while investment?
If so, what is the prefered engine, the Tigre or the Moki. Also, what are typical top speeds with this airframe?
Thanks

Status: offline 		My reading of the specs are basically minimum measurements at various locations plus exposed control horns.... there is nothing that specifies airfoils... pinching the fuse sides in after wing etc or many other minor mods that add up to a slicker airframe similar to what is done in 428 racing. Always wanted to build one of these for fun... or even to race if there ever was a convienent opportunity on the east coast.

Skin hinges and wipers are definitely not allowed

Status: offline 		Then it should be put into the rules exactly what is/or is not allowed otherwise if I built a homegrown Dominator sporting a 66-012 airfoil fiberglassed/painted wing with skinned sealed hinges and showed up at a race I would expect to fly as nothing in the rules states I can't do that. It may be obvious to you and the others flying this provisional class that it is not the intent to permit these types of mods to the one-design - but unless you put the cap on the genie he will get out.... as an example Quickie 500 is a long long way from the original intent Spickler 500 and a K&B in cost, complexity amd number of pilots participating. JMO. And I still have always wanted to build one of these.
