I think I have 4 ARF and 5 or 6 Kit EF 1's, 5-6 Q 500, and 3 Club 40's and I know they are all legal, no questions, and no interpretations needed. Look guys I'm dumber than a box of rocks on this class so I'll leave this discussion here. If someone can hook me up with someone to email and discuss equipment, etc. I would appreciate it.

Hi again Jerry,
The problem with limiting the legal planes to only a few kits and arf's is that this drastically reduces the number of potential great historic planes that could be raced.
We have many local builders in the Sacramento area that are custom building planes just for this race series. Most of them are properly concerned with the outline and planform and are building for the intent of complying with the spirit of the rules.
As has been suggested before, the use of three views and templates could easily be implemented and this process could be easily and quickly completed either at registration or tech inspection.
And tho I'm not "the" guy, you are welcome to contact me with any questions you may have.
And racewizard, thanks for chiming in.
