proparc,

Bring your plane and fly....

Here is the short version... if your a member you should seen in the CPA newsletter all the planes being flown... at all the contest I have been at and heard from the CD there is NO ONE running around as the plane police...

Here are the original rules that Gary C. came up with with the early BPA contest in Huntsville... The CPA (old BPA) uses the same rules for now...

72 inch (ish) wing span ( That was Jason S. wording... )

Up to a 120 4-stroke engine

up to a 61 2 -stroke - now this is not being held to hard and fats as there are a few planes being used time to time with a bit larger engine.

Electrics are allowed- as per the 1976 AMA Published rule book..... West coast guys are rocking out with E- power... Maybe one will write a article for the newsletter on a power set up...

Pipes and retracts are allowed, but not required.

CPA membership is not required to fly in any of the classes , as membership is required in SPA.

Sprinkler Tech.... yep you 100% right the members had no say ( vote) in the new class added to SPA. also sent you a PM and "thank you" for the support and hope you can get a CPA contest in your area, try a mixed SPA & CPA and bet you will hook a few

My Deception is missing a the little fin from the top of the fuse to rudder and never had a problem in SPA or CPA .

The other MAIN RULE IS.... MUST HAVE FUN AT CONTEST ! all we want to do is fly the old planes and do one maneuver at a time and have fun...
