So, I haven't been able to determine when the Tiporare was designed, but the fact it is not listed on the "approved planes" list in the SPA website leads me to believe it must not be. With that being said, and with no intention of starting a problem, I have a question.

First, in the construction article by Dick Hansen, he starts with a question, and answers himself. That question is, "Just excactly what is a Tiporare? If you are an active pattern flier you probably already know the answer; it's a Curare with a nose job, silicone shots and a tummy tuck."

Since (from what I can tell) it is accepted that a model may be used for SPA competition if it is based on an approved design, or more appropriately a modified or personalized version of said design, it should be clear that the Tiporare is a personalized, or modified Curare as said by the creator himself. Would I be able to use a Tiporare to compete in SPA?
