OK, kinda what I figured.

I actively flew pattern from '74 to '81 (really into '82 just enough to qualify for the next Masters) before going all in with helis. I remember most of the designs that were flown during that era but lost track when turnaround was on the horizon. I concur that in the end it comes down to pilot/practice that decides the outcome... I won Masters class at the Florida Pattern Assn. Champs in '81 flying a 'funky' (non-classic?) Andrews Aeromaster Too with a piped ST X.60 in it. That was a fun plane...

I'm new to the CPA/BPA scene (and will join the group!) and was just wondering what sort of limitations regarding equipment were in place. I hadn't noted any specifics like found with SPA rules. I do, however like the engine limitation idea...

Anybody have preliminary contest dates for '13?
