Cliff,

There is no such list for the CPA.

If you are searching for personal specifics, maybe Model Aviation can help you. The link below will bring you to the AMA and show you Classic pattern airplanes that were competitive from 1975 thru the end of non-turnaround pattern. Look thru the November editions.

Of course, this is not exhaustive as there are plenty of airplanes that are classic pattern ships that pre-date 1975.... airplanes like the Kaos and Super Kaos, the Ugly Stick, the Taurus, and the Orion, just to name a few. The main guidelines are to "try" to keep the wingspan as close to 72 inches(ish) or smaller, and have fun!

We will not turn you away for flying modern airplanes either. However, keep in mind that the goal is to fly the classic pattern airplane designs with the non-turnaround pattern cycles. Depending on the discretion of the host and/or CD, you may or may not place in the upper eschelons of competition. You will not be turned away from participation.


Electric power, nitro power, pipes, and retracts are all welcome and add to the fun.


Hope this helps.
