Default RE: Governing Body For Classic Pattern

I'll just voice how I intend to run the Classic events I am holding next year.

I like flying the older designs myself. But I am not going to keep anyone away who shows up with anything reasonable. Modern models that have the look, the feel and the approximate size of "classic" models will be allowed. Even the smaller pattern models that are available like the GP Sequence, the Osiris and such will be allowed. In my opinion it is more about going back to the one maneuver per pass style of flying then being demanding on flying "classic" designs.

I feel that there is an opening for one maneuver per pass style of aerobatic competition to return. I love the idea of flying the old designs and that is what I will do for now. But I want to encourage the better then average club pilot to try competition aerobatics. I think this style if we keep the models downsized and simple will grow. And I want to encourage that.
