Tim,

Your right there was a plane designed with current airfoils and other mods holding the outline of the original plane real loose... a big duck rule... but the airfoil was not made available to the public at all...[:@][:'(]

MY personal view... NOT THE CPA VIEW.... if your going to do a plane anyone should be able to get the plans or cores etc.

Most all the planes a that are being flown are a fiberglass fuse or ARF and it is real hard to stretch or change airfoils etc. so the policing is not really needed... Me as a scratch builder of the Deception and the Thunder Panzer like to make the plane just as the plans... yes i left of the little part from the fuse and rudder on my Deception.. but it also was a week long build for the plane.. so I was toast when it was done.

I guess it comes down to the pilots/builders own feeling and knowing that his / her plane is stock or modified... in saying this not trying to push anyone away, again the CD always has final say at a contest, but we want to have fun flying old planes and old patterns...

so again, come join the fun, reach out to some of the other TX guys and maybe get a contest started.

looking forward to seeing the kaos...
