So far I have CD 3 CPA contest and the airplane has not been a problem !!! I think by most part everybody has looked forward to flying the old 60 size airplanes with Retracts and pipes !! The contest we held @ Mac Hodges last year had over 30 Pattern planes and all were era correct .. As a CD I would never turn down a person that wants to compete in our contest, But I would encourage him to buy/build or whatever to get an airplane of that era !! I see more an more guys digging out and building pattern planes just to get a chance to hear that sound and see what we experience back in the golden days of non turnaround pattern !!!
Hey get ya one and try it I'm sure you will have a good time ..
