Hi Tommy,

Sadly, this was a fact that did happen and as you say the planes began to look a bit "Twiggy" . All Im saying is that there will always be those that challenge the agreed upon rules irregardless of how they are determined or enforced. Once you cave in to them, then the game will die a slow death.

Some will call it the progress of the class of racing you are participating in while others call it cheating. Just look at Quarter Midget from the beginning to its end. Quarter Midget racing was founded as a cheaper, slower version of Formula 1. Like Q500, it was suppose to be a place for entry level participation for its time in the early Seventies. As it "progressed", the rules that were there to keep it slow and cheap fell by the wayside and towards the end speeds were up along with the costs and the number of people racing faded to nothing.

Not logic, just the facts

Hopefully if someone such as yourself should start a scale class of racing, please consider how are you going to enforce what ever rules everyone should follow. Then determine out how to address the evolution of the class to protect its original intent. My hat is off to you if you can figure that one out!
