Default RE: New SPAD Combat Class

I got a question. I notice the above GNAT rules state fuselage length 24". The GNAT plans show the aluminum U channel as being 24" with the cutting board motor mount extending beyond the 24". I'm guessing it's not a big deal but I'd like to be clear on this.

Once while flying Indoor Free Flight at a contest, my "Easy Bee" was disqualified because my planes chord was 1/16" too long. Only because I followed the plan that came with my kit and through many copies had gained the extra dimension.

Maybe I'll never enter a combat session, but I'd like this plane to be RCCA GNAT legal. Line #2 in basics states, " Looks like a GNAT ". So maybe it's not such a big deal.
